Goodbye Wilma....

[paula_val]

I just wanted you to know how much I am going to miss you. How many days have passed since you've been gone and I still cry when I think that I won't see you anymore, or hear stories about your grandaughter from so many years ago. I'll always remember how smart you were, how much knowledge you retained from your long life. I'll always remember what a happy lady you were, even when it would have been very easy for you to be mad and sad. You have touched everyones heart that knew you and I can only hope that your family honors you now that you are gone. I'm sorry I didn't do more. I'm sorry I never called your family and asked them where the hell they were all of those years. Ask them why you were forced to remember a 4 year old grandaughter that is now in her 30s. I never did enough and I hope that you forgive me. I hope that I have a chance to say a final goodbye. It's looking more and more like I won't be able to, but if that is the case, we can call this our final goodbye. You were an amazing lady, one that made everyone feel happy. I know that you are surrounded by lots of puppies and kittens in heaven as I know that made you happy. I know you are in His hands now, so you will truly be able to rest and feel peace. I feel joy in my heart that you are not suffering at all now. You are walking on two legs, feeling the grass between your toes. You are seeing all of the beautiful colors that were taken away from you so long ago. You are hearing the music that always made you so happy, and finally, you are tasting all of those things that are so "Deelish".

Thank you Wilma, for letting me be a small part of your life and I hope you know how loved you were.

We'll meet again my friend
Paula
