If tears could bring you back,

I’d cry you a river.

I remember your last words very clearly.

”Nana, don’t cry, it is over, maybe in the next lifetime we will meet again”.

My soul tore apart, and my heart broke.

That broken smile you gave me when you felt like dying.

That short breath when you said your last words to me.

”It is not your fault; it was time.” How?

How was it time when I had only just graduated,

You said you wanted me to buy you a house,

you enjoyed a pool in your home,

don’t you remember?

but now you are gone forever,

I won’t ever see you again…

well, in the next lifetime, I will see you again,

but what if you don’t remember me again,

will you still be my Granny?

well, if not, I would rather not be there in the next lifetime.

I am afraid you might forget me,

you might forget what my face looked like,

forget all the good memories we had,

forget all the beatings you gave me when I wanted to eat ice cream when it was cold,

well, now it is cold; I am eating ice cream; come beat me, Granny.

It is cold without you here, momma; I miss you.

REST IN PEACE, GOGO. I will see you in the next life.
