morning sky....
my great grandmother passed when i was so very young
i longed for her
missed her all so greatly
in a childs mind one could not conceive
so it came to be
that she was up there
the biggest fluffliest cloud i could find
there she sat watching over me
as the years have passed on by
so to have many more
in moments at times i was not ready for
stolen away
by the brink of day
just as with each sunrise
our worlds are forever changing
moments you wish could stay
and then gone with the blink of an eye
i was overwhelmed with a surge of grief my eyes stung from the tears that were sweltering
saddness and sorrow completely out of nowhere i was driving along last night
and i could feel the heaviness my heart began mourning
i asked my husband does this happen to you
moments and days when you think you are fine
and out of the complete blue sky it hits you...grief....why?

My mother died in 1999 and I still have moments of overwhelming grief out of nowhere (I'll be walking through a store, driving my car, folding laundry) and I'll just start weeping.
I think there are things that touch us in regards to those past that at times we do not realize that they remind us of them, yet they bring back some fleeting memory and depending on what the memory is, where we are or even what time of the month it may be sometimes grief hits us stronger than at other times..... I often feel that from those close who have passed on... there a few who touch me softer than others like the touch of a feather yet the remberance is still there just as strong.
happens to be as well - just out of the blue - even 21 yrs later - gotta just feel it and keep going.
I think the winter doldrums hit almost everyone, but some more than others. It's hard to explain that sense of sadness, but you have done an excellent job. Sun and being able to get out will make me feel more like myself. Hope you are having a good weekend!
My great grandmother died when I was 9 years old. I had never met her. I'm glad to have found her life story with the help of my family tree. I feel very close to both her and my grandmother.

My family was so kind as to remind me that this month, I will be the same age as my mother when she died; I miss her so; and she's been gone so long. And now, I feel this sense of mortality, knowing (actually knowing) that I could die at any time. She did, why not I also???
