Linda,
STORY:
I think the only time I ever really felt safe throughout my childhood was when I was with my Kokum Lydia.
She gave me lifetimes of love. Her hands felt like blossomed rose petals.
I miss her often. More than usual as I feel I’m stepping into a new phase in my life.
She died when I was six. I miss her often.
I find solace in the way my mom is slowly morphing in her mom, and me following suit.. with Vatsana looking more and more like me everyday. This makes me happy cry when I see my mom smiling at Vatsana the same way her mom looked at me.
I always prayed she would somehow come back to me.
When I see you and the kids laughing and cuddling I am so overcome with every fucking emotion. I love that they get this time with you and Papa Norman creating the same beautiful moments my Kokum created with me. I know they’ll look back one day and miss these days even in this weird time, so I’m trying my best to soak in each moment lately.
We thank Creator for you over and over.
You are the best most funniest perfect Grandma to our circus. Love you big big.
