Poem: A Letter to my Grandmother I cannot comprehend that you are no longer here You have physically disappeared from this earth But its like your still here with me Because whenever i close my eyes I can see your face(I can see you smiling back at me I feel your love enveloping me everywhere I go Whenever I look at my mom, aunts, and uncles I see everything you ve worked for And I m proud to say that I m a part of your family Because that is exactly what it is Its your family It always has been It always will be You were the matriarch of our family You were the rock that held us together You were the strong one, Who walked in the Valley of Death Yet came back because we needed you too But, finally, you are comfortable with where we are at You know that your mission is complete And you are tired of fighting And so, instead of letting death take you into his cold hands on his own You chose to go on your own accord And to be one with the Father You chose to dance in heaven with your husband Just like you wanted I wish you all the riches that the next lifetime can offer So you can never say that your broke ever again =] You always told me that I was special Or that I would make it someday And I m going to prove that to you I promise I know that you are better off now But just know that I love you And always will Just know that I miss you and always will Just know that you are my Abuela And always will be
