Suzee wrote a portrait of someone special as part of a Grade 8 class project last year when she was attending Schreiber Public School. She decided to submit her piece, a portrait of her Great- Grandma, Tressia Spatton, to Catching the Spirit, an annual anthology of writing by the students of Northwestern Ontario. Her work was chosen for publication. Suzee said she enjoys writing poetry in her spare time although she does write stories sometimes. Why Suzee chose her great- grandmother as someone special is best answered by reading her story. A Tribute to My Great Grandmother I remember my great- grandmother saying I was her favorite great grandchild. Every time I went to Brandon, Manitoba to the senior citizen home, she would wait on the ramp in her wheelchair and I would run up to her and give her a big hug because it felt so good to be with her. While I was there I would take her for walks and we would drink tea and we always had a good time. She was my best friend. When she passed on last year, it felt like the whole world had ended. She was the best thing that ever happened to me. I cried so much when everyone said it was best for her, and when I look at my gigantic mouse or the pictures, those memories still Suzee Costa with the her gigantic blue mouse given to her by her great-grandmother. make me cry. I still regret not seeing her one last time. or not saying goodbye. In a letter that was sent to my family, was a necklace she always wore and when I saw it, it made me realize she was . in a better place and that she will always be with me no matter where I am - my Great Grandma - Tressia Spatton Yates.
