Saying Goodbye - NaPoWriMo 26
Along the shingled beach
past where we had used to walk,
and where I would have been ahead,
now down towards the shore
under a grey
and slightly melancholy sky,
here we each say a few words
I say
"Goodbye Grandma"
but hope she'll always be with me,
towards the incoming waves
to let the sea claim her ashes
So that she and Grandad
and other now-past-on friends
can all be together,
and in my memory.

This was lovely.
As someone who's grandma was a central part of their life, I understand your loss, and I'm so sorry.
Be well my friend.
