To My Grandmother

Today is the day of your funeral, A day of mourning. I sang at your funeral and felt a lot of pain. Agony is taking over. I pray to God that we will meet again. I try to live a normal life but all I can think of is your death. Your death was a shock, but we all were expecting a call one day, saying you had died. We got that call three days ago. When I answered the phone, I could feel something was wrong. It was Papaw. I have never heard him cry before. He said we need to come home, because you had passed away. When we got there, Papaw asked me if I would sing a song and I said, "sure". I sang, "I Will Remember You." Papaw told me that I did well, like he always says. We came back home, and I had to sing at church. All I could think of was you. As days passed, I got used to your not being here. The hardest thing was the family getting together for Christmas. My Christmas present for the family was a video of you. I took old pictures and videos of you and put it all in one. Papaw watches it every day. I may not get to watch the video every day, but you are always in my dreams. We all love you and miss you so much. I Love You Mamaw. |
