I knew why she was tearing up. My grandparents on my Mum’s side were stricken ill before I was born. I never met my grandfather, but my grandmother was not in the best condition when I was old enough to meet her. Parkinson’s I believe. She was a rare case as she was still fairly young. A fate that my Mum has bypassed so far. A fate I would make sure she would never encounter. I was immune to it, my gift preventing that from ever happening. If I was able to keep my mind after the mind ritual, Parkinson’s had no chance.
