When I woke this morning she was with me, only we were in her room and she was in her chair. Everything was so vivid. One hand clasping the other next to her face. Her legs were crossed and she was sitting in the chair so that she faced the bed where I was sitting. She gave me that familiar look – where she raised her eyebrows, kind of shrugged her shoulders, gave a slight smile and made a little noise with her mouth. She always gave me that look after telling me a story, as if to say “I don’t know, but that is all for now”. Maybe that is what she was trying to tell me now. While her time on Earth is over, it is not over for us. It is just all for now.
My grandmother was an amazing woman, full of wisdom and adventure. She was a strong woman. Although she is no longer with us physically, she lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her and in the lives of her family. She lives on in me. She will be remembered, she will be loved and she will be missed. I praise God that he gave us all the time we needed to show our love and to tell her goodbye.
Goodbye sweet Granny. I love you and I cherish our memories.
