A week ago today my sweet sweet Grandma had a stroke, she has been rapidly declining since and is now resting at my mom's house with the care of hospice. Although I am filled with sorrow and miss her dearly I have been overwhelmed by all of the little miracles that she keeps showing me as she rests peacefully in here final days. She has brought my entire family together and she continues to show us love. One of my favorite little miracles has been this poem that she wrote. I have read it to her a dozen times.Grandma you are a fairy and it is okay to fly away. We will miss you dearly but your memory will live forever. I love you with all my heart.

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. But it sounds like you've found peace in the moment and that's all you can really ask for, isn't it? How luck you were to have a woman you loved so much in your life!

Just profoundly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh Alexis. This is a lovely tribute to your Grandma. That poem is a treasure. Thank you for sharing it. Many peaceful thoughts and prayers coming your way. Grandparents are so special.
ReplyDeleteLetting go is never easy and yet you are lucky to have had your Gran into your adulthood. I lost both of mine when I was only 5 and to this day one of my greatest regrets is that I never had an adult conversation with my Gran, (my Mum's Mum). Gentle thoughts from France; Linda x
ReplyDeleteAlexis... I am so so sorry for all the pain you're going through. Stay strong even through it's hard. You're so lucky to have such a wonderful & beautiful grandmother in your life. Cherish all the memories... She will always be with you still forever {in your heart}! So sorry!

ReplyDeleteive been enjoying your blog for a while now and it's the 1st time to comment. praying for comfort and love during this time. my daddy had a stroke in 2005...it's really hard to go thru this. your grandmother is so lovely & charming. take care, sara
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all your sweet comments. Although I don't know many of you I can feel your love and prayers. Today has been the most difficult day. They say it is harder for us to watch but I feel like my grandma is in pain. I am still in my jammies and miss Henry too. Praying for strenght for all of us.
ReplyDeleteI wish I were a fairy.
Oh sweet grandmas. Mine was a treasure. She passed away in 2000 and I think about her every day. You seem close to your grandma as well. It will be that way for you too. You will forget these last few months and only remember the happy times. I know it's heartbreaking to watch. Hang in there and hold on to those memories.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh- i have tars rolling down my cheeks...that was soo beautiful..
