At times like this, one reflects on their own lives. The past, the present, and the future, both in anxious anticipation to know what is waiting for us as well as the realization that time isn't slowing down for you, for any of us. After losing my father, whom I became very close to the years preceding his death, I thought a lot about my family. The good and the bad, the loved ones that, unfortunately, I never knew as well as I would have liked. Growing up, I only met my Grandmother a few times that I can remember. The last time I saw her I was 16, before that the last real visit I had with her I was just about 9 years old. I have a fond memory of her, we went with my immediate family to Silver Dollar City. She stayed for a day or two at our home. The details are blurry, I was too young to have any real conversation with her at that age, but what I do know is that she traveled to see us. She put in that effort because she cared about her daughter and her grandchildren. Regardless of how she got there or why she came - she did. She cared about my siblings and I, this is obvious. Mothers always care, even when they are unable to show or say it. I did not know my Grandmother as a person- her hopes, dreams, losses, fears, her life growing up. These are things you start to wonder about after you lose someone, and wish that you would have indeed been closer to them. I am quite close to one of my Aunts, and I know she is having a tough time. I imagine all of my Grandmothers children are, this was their mother. For that, I give my deepest and most sincere sympathies. I am hurting that I lost a grandmother that I didn't know as well as a child should. This was not her fault, nor mine. This was life. She loved us, and I will always know and remember that about her. A loss like this, especially for her children and those she was closest to is something that sort of jolts you into a very wakeful state - one where we as human beings contemplate on what really matters most in life. I believe this is a cycle that will repeat itself over and over again as I get older and lose more loved ones. Those older than me would be able to say for certain. In these times, we realize how important family is, and in those relationships how important it is to have healthy relationships with the people in our life. What I pray for my Grandmother is that she did not suffer too much and that her pain is over. I pray that she is in a better place, where worry and grief do not exist. A place so exceptional that she is smiling, with total happiness inside her heart. What I pray for everyone else who is grieving her loss right now, is to find a way to weather the storm with your loved ones. Cling to them and remember that with every passing breath, we have been blessed. Time is a fragile, unpredictable element in this life and we never know where it is going to take us or how long. Love one another, be close, and for those people in your life who have harmed you and have not yet found a way to apologize - forgive them. I was only given smiles and care in the short time I spent with my Grandmother, and though I do wish that time would have been greater. I am happy to know that I have absolutely no bad memory of her and I am grateful for that. Grandma, may you rest in peace and find yourself in eternal sunshine and happiness.
Regards,
Chasta Marie
