Grandma

"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it." - E. E. Cummings My grandma is my dearest light that shines bright in the night to tame the pierce of darkness so my soul could rest. But one day her smile went away for she flew faraway on a place beyond my sight within heaven's height. Memories of her tender love resonates in my heart like a solemn melody that brings best in me.

I enjoyed reading your thoughts once again about your grandmother whom I can tell from this work that you loved and respected. It is so good to read about her from your point of view. Back with congratulations on your work being on the winners' list. Sara

Thank you very much. It did really come true... My grandma was the "closest thing to heaven" for me.

Thanks a lot. She worked hard to raise me when my parents separated when I was about 5. Life was tough. But she was there. Sadly, she passed away years before I got my college degree.
