A year ago on August 8th I lost my dear grandmother
It's been hard living without the sweet sage advice and the qubits of humor she'd give me to make my days a bit easier.
That coupled with the horrible greed and hatred that her other sons and daughter (my aunts and uncles) as well as the cousins (save for a few) have given me many months since her passing and still continues even now hurts beyond measure, there are days I don't even want to get out of bed and would sooner join her in Heaven to be rid of this pain.
But I know that isn't what she'd want, if she were here right now she'd say in her adorably sweet voice with the sweet and sassy smile I can still see in my mind clear as day, "Now you stop that crying little girl, I'm alright and you should be too. We're not gonna lay in bed and mope all day, you're gonna get up and say Look at me, here I am!" And she's right, I need to live life for her and enjoy it. 91 is a good life and she'd be proud of my hard work and all the things I've done and have planned.
I will live on for her, it still hurts and it may hurt forever until my time comes, but I know that I will continue to make her proud no matter what happens in the future, she will see that her "little girl" is going to grab life by the horns and "Heave ho!"
I love you grandma and I miss you everyday
Rest with the angels
I'll take care of things down here until we meet again
Happy Birthday to the AMERICAN NIGHTMARE CODY RHODES!
At 9:30AM this morning, my sweet beloved grandmother passed away of natural causes at the age of 91.
Rest in Peace Grandma Eveline (aka Grandma Shorty), I love you so much and I will see you again someday.
