A Letter to Grandma
May 26, 2016
Still seeming so
surreal
eight months later,
I can’t believe that
you’re truly
dead.
Standing in your
house, I expect you to
round the corner
and squeeze me;
the perfect balance of
affection
comfort and
warmth.
The last time I
experienced that
sensation, you were
in my arms
incapable of clasping me
as you once did from
infant
toddler to
teen.
I crave your
sweet, gentle voice and
genuine love of life.
I desire one last
simple conversation
that isn’t
fogged with
illness
purely consisting of
me and you.
