Grandma Rosemary Baldwin
9/11/23 - 10/12/13
When I am gone, release me, let me go,
I have so many things to see and do,
you mustn't tie yourself to me with tears
be thankful for our beautiful years.
I gave you my love, you can only guess
how much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
but now it's time I traveled alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,
then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a time that we must part,
so bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on,
and if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near,
and if you listen with your heart, you'll hear.
All my love around you soft and clear, and then,
when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile, and say
"Welcome Home."
It has been nearly two months since Grandma passed away. I am remembering the beautiful years I shared with her, the memories we made, and the love that she gave me. I am grieving, for a while, because my friend, my support, my hero has passed on. I began this blog for her, in order to keep in touch and share my life with her across the many miles that separated us. It's hard for me to share here while the hurt is still fresh. I hope to return soon, but for now I will remember, and I will grieve, for a while.
