Grandma

I long to call you today and hear your voice.

To hear you say "Oh Beth!" when you answer the phone and hear me say "Hi Grandma!"

I know where you are celebrating this year blows the socks off any party you ever had here on Earth!

I miss the feel of your hugs.

Your smell.

Your voice.

Your laugh.

Your entire family feels the loss today.

We all stop today and take a minute to remember you, to think of you, to feel our loneliness.

Happy Birthday Grandma.
