I Miss You Granny

Granny I write you these words to let you know that I'm ok and you don't have to worry about me. I sure do miss you. I miss your smile. I miss your laugh. I miss your hugs. I miss your cooking. I miss how you took care of me and how you always had my back no matter what the circumstance. I miss everything about you and it seems that I am missing out on life here without you. What I miss most of all is your unconditional love. As an angel you now know perfect love. The amazing part about you is that you knew that same kind of love while you still lived on this earth. There are many that assert that a human spirit cannot transcend to the level of an angel, but I know that such a notion is as dumb as the people who believe such a thing to be true. They obviously never knew a person like you. Well, I knew you, know you, and trust that you received brilliant wings when you arrived before the Lord our God. You did very little in your life on this planet to contribute to the death of Christ on the cross and for this I am sure your reward has been more splendid and grand than the most beautiful dreams you ever dreamed while you were here. Though I miss your physical presence terribly, know that I feel you watching over me. As I walk through this wilderness I am sure that ahead of me you are clearing a safe pathway for me to travel home. I am still having a great deal of trouble understanding why I am here, but I do understand that because you lived I must live. Because you loved I must love. Because you suffered I must suffer. Because you fought I must fight. Long ago the possibility of me living a life as pure as yours was lost to stupid youth and dark impulses. Know this my sweet Granny: I will do all that I can to search out a way of living that would make you proud and that you and our Lord Christ would smile about. I have not the slightest idea as to how this life is going to go from here, but I will persevere until it is my time to return where you are. I love you Maggie Lee Triplett and will always be in awe of how you lived and loved. I will do what I can to be only a portion of what you were. If I can be just a tiny portion of what I know of you I will have done well and I will leave this world with my head held high, knowing, that being only a tiny bit like you I moved mountains within my soul. God Bless You Angel, rest and bliss are surely yours, and know that I am not too far behind you.
