Every fiber of my being aches to reach you, wherever you are now, with this ecstatic teary overwhelm that is my gratitude for you dear grandma.

You have been so many things to me...teacher, nurturer, confidant, play pal, guide, inspiration,.... and proof. You are the proof that life is best lived as service to others and love of God.

You are one of the most selfless humans I have ever known.

Even in your last hours you hung on till we could all come and laugh and cry and wonder with you at the Mystery of it all. Only you and your deeply peaceful fulfilled life could empower us to do the impossible,....to let you go.

For me you are forever and everywhere alive, now as Love Itself. Knowing that the very blood flowing in my veins is also yours calls me beyond all self-doubt to walk towards the bright new day and life your passing this morning ushered in for us all.

I can't be consoled. I'm going to miss you forever.
Thank you for this hole in my heart and life through which the One we both worship just keeps pouring on in.

Grandma, I love you so.
