I Want to Tell My Story

*Trigger warning as this story talks about death, I don’t think there’s anything particularly triggering, but I’ll put a warning just in case*

My grandma passed last Wednesday after four days in the hospital
She’s the only grandparent I’ve really known,
The matriarch of the family

I was in the room when she passed, along with my parents, my aunts, and one of my grandma’s closest friends
In the moments leading up to her passing I remembered a keychain I had gotten for her

So sorry for the loss of your grandma. The keychain is really sweet. My grandma (the last of my grandparents) passed away in 2016. I dedicated this poem to her on a post I wrote back then. Perhaps it'll remind you of your grandma as well...
"Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower; but only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down today.
Nothing gold can stay."
