Grandmom

My person.
My best friend.
The 81 year old version of myself.
My shopping companion.
My stylist.
My card shark.
Her larger than life smile & exploding laughter.
The back rubs & hand holding & playing with my hair.
7 o'clock dates for Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy..
Grandmom.

If this is the end of her life on Earth,
if this is how she extinguishes,
if it is this month that she takes her last breath,
if yesterday was the last time I hear her say she loves me,
then I am ok.

I spent 24 years loving her well & being loved well by her.
24 years of cooking & laughing & shopping & boy talking & card playing & reading People magazine.
I love this lady more than anyone else & I will miss her if this is her time.
But I know who holds her life & mine, & His timing is what I trust more than anything.
