Grandmother


Today is the day mom
I am here don’t worry
I need you
You’ll be okay
I don’t know if I can do this                                                                               You can do this
I wish you could be here
I am
It’s time
    Just breathe
It’s a girl    
She’s beautiful
I wish you could see her
I can
I named her after you; she has your eyes
She will have your heart and strength
It’s hard here without you
I miss you so much
I know you are safe
of course
I love you mom                  I love you too honey
