Love Ghostbusters. The franchise means a lot to me and I hold it very close to my chest. I grew up watching like a lot of you. I would always watch it with my dad. I would also watch with my grandma when I would visit her.
It wasn't until I was a little older that I bought the complete limited edition box set of "The Real Ghostbusters". I was going through depression at the time and I would just stay with my grandma every other day. We were always watching it together. We would laugh and talk about things and really bond. Sharing those moments with her really helped me and always makes me happy. Especially the film itself.
I always wanted to have a replica proton pack like other fans but I couldn't afford one. I certainly couldn't build one from the Kitsap as I don't have the know how and I have shakey hands. I have finally been building up my uniform and getting a pack. I currently have decals on my car with a little amber beacon. I do plan on changing that when I can.
Sadly though, my grandma has Alzheimers. She has suffered with it for 5 years now. Unfortunately I can't have those conversations with her anymore. Bond with her like we used to. She gave so much to me and was always there for me. I wish she could see her grandson finally becoming a Ghostbuster. She will once I complete everything. Still waiting on my pack to be built. Once it is I will visit her all in my uniform. Unfortunately she won't remember any of it or understand but at least I can bring a smile to her face and let her fiddle with the neutrino wand. At least seeing her interaction will make me happy
I think about those memories everyday, wishing I could share my memories with her again. Her interaction and joy alone when I see her is all that will matter at that moment and a constant reminder of why I want to do this. To bring joy and happiness to others.
