Grandmas Wishes

I do not want a bunch of crying or sadness Grandma said. Release a bunch of balloons and sing upbeat songs when I am dead. We grandchildren all heard her say it a million times. She sang it and wrote poetry about it and put it in rhymes. I do not want a headstone, they are creepy she told us. You can remember me other ways, but don’t make a fuss. Play Puff the Magic Dragon. Don’t become grouchy grief buffoons. So today we said good bye to grandma, releasing her balloons.
