"How lucky I am to have known someone who is so hard to say goodbye to." – Anonymous
A 2 year old’s first big boy haircut, children excited about the beach and the Easter bunny, a husband who contently and calmly walks by my side while I grumble and cry for days, a forecast to shine warm sun onto my weary body, a dog who didn’t eat the dinner off of the table, a five year old who dresses up in gowns to watch reality tv with me, good friends who get it and without any explanation, love and wrap their arms around me….… tulips, daffodils, warm beds, new shoes, a soft belly…
And all of this is wonderful. And positive.
And I’m still sad.
And so… for today, I think of how lucky I am to have had such an amazing force of nature, such a loving, funny, caring, involved, grandfather. Someone who taught me how to be without ever saying ‘this is how you should be…’ … and now, most importantly, someone who is incredibly hard for me to say goodbye to.
How lucky I am… I wonder if he knows, - I mean really knows. I wonder if I thanked him enough…for making me such a lucky girl.
