Gonna be missing grandma.my grandma thought she would get married again in heaven.
LOSING GRANDMA.
She only had a 4th grade education; But grandma possessed more wisdom than anyone I have ever known. She didn't go to medical school; But her hands on a fevered brow felt better Than any doctor's hands ever could. She never went to seminary; But her life was a living testament On how to get it right. She always said she didn't know much But to me what she knew mattered most. When I was young I loved to be with her - Especially on Sundays. When it was cold grandma wore a coat With a fur collar. I liked to rest my head On her shoulder. She and her fur collar were soft and comforting. She made me feel: Safe Warm Loved. I thought that grandma was a saint. When she was old and frail She fooled every doctor who cared for her. "She won't live through the night," they'd say; But she did - for nearly a year.

Neo,
May her soul rest in peace!
This is very touching. How I wish you had kept the story going a little longer instead of giving it such an abrupt ending.
I guess that's how every life ends and if you meant to capture it, well done!
Thanks for sharing. God bless!
