daffodils make me miss her more

[littlefemme]

Every once in awhile I'll realize that I have lost someone I love very much. Tonight I was thinking about how to manage my guestlist and I realized that my Grandma won't be at my wedding, no matter what I do. I wrote this for her instead of an invitation.

Thank you for the memories that make me who I am.

And a new reminder of you for each season of life.

Thank you for allowing me to see how precious life is,

And how fleeting a moment can be.

Thank you for holding my hand when I was little

And now again when I'm feeling lonely.

Thank you for still being who you always were;

In the pictures on my mantle and the ones in my mind.

Thank you for protecting me from your death,

For as long as you could.

Thank you for not leaving me afraid and angry,

And giving me a glimpse of really true love

…When I saw him say goodbye to you.
