Remembering my Grandmother, of blessed memory.
Legal adulthood comes to mind. I guess that’s because it’s the same year my second born child turns into one.
I said goodbye to her with the recently new knowledge that I was pregnant. I was thinking about telling her but she said to me “I’m ready to go, I’m so tired” in a way that only the heart knows. I don’t want her to try and muster what strength she had left for anything other than herself and her next breath.
So I kept my secret.
I kissed her good-bye.
Love you Grandma.
Still.
“It’s the circle of life, and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love, ’till we find our place, on the path unwinding.”
