Tomorrow is my grandmother Laurah’s 2nd death anniversary. She died at age 96, and I’m happy for all the time we had, but still a little incredulous, like, but why couldn’t we have just had more time? I love and miss her every day. She was the best grandma to me. Very loving. Very soft hands. Very wise. She spoke in poetry, and old adages, and her laugh sounded like a wind chime. I love her so much. Thanks for sharing your grandma’s memory.

Thank you for sharing, Myq. I fear the day I have to say goodbye to someone I’m so close to like you’ve had to. I know their memory will continue to live with me, and I am fortunate to be able to spend the time I have with them now. Your post shows me how people stay with us even after they’ve moved on, and it was beautiful to hear you reminiscing on both the joy of the memories and the challenge of grief.
