You were more than just a grandmother to me.
You were my confidant, my strong shoulder, my backbone.
More than anyone else put on this earth to be my "friend",
You were the one truest to understanding me the best.
I know especially over the past few years before your passing, I must've stressed you to pieces,
Yet you still managed to smile everytime I saw you;
A smile so priceless it has been imprinted in my memory bank for life.
You never, ever passed judgement on my choices in life, but still always offered positive advice.
I can hear you now....."You makin sure dese children eat hot food?" (lol), or
"You comb dis child hair today?" "Yes ma'am." "Well why it look like dat?!"
"Cause you bless dem wit nice soft, live hair like you! It wouldn't stay fix! smt.".......
You loved my kids so much.....all of your great-grandkids in fact.
(I just always felt mine were special....lol)
I miss our talks, the "naughty" giggles.......oh how you got a kick out of anything "fresh"! lol,
The bellowing belches, the atomic farts, lmao (and they say women fart quietly...lol).....
I believe you just got a kick out of doing it to see the expression on my face,
Because you let out the loudest, contagious laugh ever each time you were done.
The benny and coconut cakes, the banana bread,
licking the pan from the banana bread batter.......num!! (lol),
The homemade bread, the ice cold lemonade,
the massive homemade hamburgers that NO ONE could match..........(sigh).
Just look at how I gazed upon your beautiful face ever since I was a mere infant...
Life is not the same since you've been gone.......
Ma, I MISS YOU!!
