A few words I said to a strong 98 y.o. women, who is leaving us.

[Cindylilies]

My husband's grandmother is 98, and has been sent home to pass peacfully.  She may have days, or just a week.    In moments I was in her pink pretty room, surrounded by all her families photo's.   Is she sleeping, dreaming, or is it just her small body still her on earth, yet her soul gone home.  I do not know.    Yet I stood there alone with her, and whispered these words to her. 

I am sorry I never came by to show you photo's of Ole, I knew you liked the name we had picked out.   I am sorry we did not tell you we lost him, till fairly recently.   I heard your daughter mention the other day that you talked about the baby and me, maybe you wondered why we had not brought Ole over to visit.   I had to leave that hospital room, cause the tears came pouring out.    They knew, yet Michael was afraid to tell you, cause it hurt too much to say, "I lost my son."    I have photo's of him, yet moments like these I few pitiful, cause that is the only thing I have to hold on to,  these photo's of my first son.   I know your off to a better place, and when you get there do me two favors.   You'll get to see Ole, and he'll have laughter in his voice, give him a big hug for me, and tell him mommies never forgot, and I love him.   Second, after your hello's with God, and you have sat a spell.   Just tap Him on the arm, and remind Him, His daughter wants that other baby He promised her.   Cause I know He knows.   I just want another child, but for my sake tell Him to please make it sooner, then later.  Thank for loving Michael, and I am sorry I did'nt know you a long time.   Goodbye, go up there and enjoy yourself.   Viva Con Dios.
