Like Yesterday

I remember

it like it

was yesterday

and not

3 years ago;

all the details

clear

in my mind.

The four a.m

wake up,

after a call,

running to the

car,

going to your room,

and seeing you

there;

pale

and lifeless.

I will

remember that

even though

you were gone,

I wasn't

crying like 

all those times

I sat at

the edge of your bed

and held

your hand.

I knew you had gone

to someplace

better,

where you

weren't in

pain,

and that

you would live

forever

in our hearts.

I love and miss you,

Grandma.
