Bertha aka Berty
grandma died today
another thing to crush me
my heart stops beating
I close my eyes and exhale
as the tears fall they echo
another thing to crush me
my heart stops beating
I close my eyes and exhale
as the tears fall they echo

Author's Note
My grandmother hated her name. She loved Berty because she said it sounds like bird and birds are free. She loved explaining why she choose Berty.

Oh my God, I am so sorry Remy I truly am, and you know I was praying for her and for you. There are no words I could possibly say that would fill the void of her absence, so I will respectfully remain silent in her honor, and your grieving. I am here for you, always🌷

My deepest heartfelt condolences, Remy
You can feel the love and respect emanating from your poignantly beautiful words.
She sounded like a real gem and lovely lady.... her light now is carried on within you.
You were both lucky to have one another.
I'm sending all my sympathies as well as good thoughts of peace and healing.

The good memories of her are in your heart. She would want you to go on live your life. The hurt never really goes away, but someone up there were it be god or like the adjustment bureau has a plan for us all. Keep on writing.

Condolences to you, sir
She's right. Berty sounds lovely. Like how it rhymes with "purty"
Yep, the country boy in me yet lives

Well a few months have passed. But no one really forgets. I hope you are thriving as I’m sure she would’ve wanted. She is truly free.
