My daughter's Mother's Day post

[dalesys]

“I sure miss your Mother”
Grandpa says
His tone insinuates
I don’t miss her
Grandma was Mother
I was bad
She scolded me
I ran away
She found me
She fed me
Pancakes for breakfast
Homemade bread with dinner
She taught me
Opinionated and determined
Arguing in her sixties
With a teenager
Some things I hid
From her disappointment
In my accomplishments
She was proud
Grandpa has faith
They will be together
Again
Sixty years
Now he counts the hours
Til eternity starts
I don’t have faith
I live on logic
Some say
Loved ones live on inside you
Biology
Dad got 23
Pieces of grandma
At least one passed down to me
Pieces of grandma
In every cell of mine
In my green eyes,
In my ornery attitude
That cursed female chromosome
From Grandma
Some say death is
When memories are forgotten
Thirty-three years of memories replay
In my head
Grandma is living
In our home on Laird Avenue,
Making pancakes,
Scolding me,
Telling me she loves me.
I don’t miss her
Like he does
She is with me
In every cell of mine
In every memory

I just lost my own grandmother - this made me cry, in it's beautiful truth. I can feel her in me everyday.

Both of my grandmothers are now gone. Yesterday, I was at the family graves, and helped my mom plant flowers on her relatives. Her mom was a wonderful lady--it's still hard to believe that she's been gone nearly 7 years.

I spent a good chunk of yesterday walking around, holding my daddy's hand...
