There she lay, so peaceful. Her eyes closed and her body still. The movement of her chest, up and down with each breath, the only sign of life within her. i reached for her hand, smooth and soft as always, and could easily be mistaken for my grandma's, my mum's, my sister's or mine. she feels my hand in hers and i see the struggle in her face as she tries to open her eyes to look at me. she lets out a small smile, and i know she is happy to see me. my eyes fill with tears as i know this may be the last moments i have to share with her.
i don't want to say goodbye abuelita. i don't know what i'm going to do without you. i miss you already. your lollies, your pasta, your smile... i don't want you to go.
I'll love you forever, Rosa Canales.
