Happy 90th Birthday Grandma!
"Much Love on Your Birthday" ~Amy Witt
It's your birthday Grandma,
I bet you had a blast.
I tried to celebrate with you,
But the fun just couldn't last.
I know you had a wonderful Birthday Grandma,
As you celebrated it with God,
Your mom and dad and siblings too,
I'm sure missed celebrating it with you!
I went to see you today,
But I didn't want to dig 6 feet under,
So I stayed on top and looked below,
to where your body did go.
I skated on your grave today,
But I didn't want to fall,
Or end up 6 feet under with you,
So I stepped off when it started to crack.
I left you a blanket of rose petals,
In pretty pinks and purple,
They looked pretty sprinkled over your grave,
So I shared with my great-grandparents and Aunt Lil.
I tried to send you a birthday balloon,
But at first it wouldn't get off the ground,
I went and got it, and cut the string,
But then it got stuck in the tree.
I hope you will accept my presents,
As that is all that I can do.
I love you and I miss you Grandma,
But Happy Birthday to you.
Much love on your Birthday!
Love,
amy nicole
P.S. the title of this poem comes from the words on the balloon that I got for my Grandma.
Overall this day went well. I think because I took and started my own tradition (which if you read the poem you know what they are... the rose petals and balloon). Was it hard going out their, slightly but yet at the same time not at all. I cried when I was out their yes, I cried when I went to my great aunt Lil's (my grandma's sister), and my great grandma and great grandpa Huurto (my grandma's In-laws) graves as well. But other than that today was a good day. My grandma was in my head the whole day, but I know i did something that my grandma would have loved. I celebrated today, I celebrated her life and shared it with her.
By doing this I think it will still help me to feel the connection between my grandma and me and it will also help me to cope. By going to her grave it helped me to overcome a huge step in some people's minds for coping. Some can't go to the loved one's grave for a while after, and some never go, and of coarse some go every day. I probably won't go often but when I feel I need to go then I will. I have a couple other dates in my head that could be possibilities, my grandma and grandpa's wedding anniversaries (this year will be their 63rd) and the anniversary of my Grandma's death. But I guess only time will tell...however until then I need to keep moving through life which includes getting sleep and that I must go do now since I have classes tomorrow.
So good night all!
Happy Birthday Grandma!!!!!!!!!! I Love you now forever and always!
