Summary: Benton Fraser's time at Depot and just after. Warning for canonical character death. This is the sequel to Leaving Home, also available as a podfic. I recommend listening to that first, but you can listen to this separately if you want.

Weirdly, my grandmother died while I was recording this fic (in which Martha Fraser dies). She was 95 and had a minor heart attack recently, so it wasn't unexpected. She was...not at all like Martha Fraser, actually. I visited her last in August, when I was down in the south to be with my family. She was always so positive in her outlook, even when she was confused about who I was and how old she herself was. And the night before she died, Mom and Dad were there with her, and she was so happy that they were there and that everyone at the hospital were so good to her, and even flirted with one of the male nurses. I will miss her. A couple of years ago, Dad recorded lots of tapes of her telling the story of her life, and I'm going to listen to those and remember her.

So, um, if you just followed the link to get the podfic, feel free to just grab it.

I'm so sorry for your loss. This is such a lovely story about your grandmother. I'm so glad her last days had so much joy in them, and hats off to your dad for making recordings! The preservation of family history like that is so, so wonderful.

*hugs*
