Last December was the hardest and the most tormenting month that has passed since a decade now. I lost the most caring and the most precious person in my life whose absence is a hole in my heart and every-time i think about that person , that hole starts strangling me inside out. That December stole away my great grandmother. Everyone might be thinking that i am throwing a tantrum on an inevitable death but you never know a good thing until its gone. Her lone presence was a relief, a promise that the world is not a bad place after all. But ever since she left, her smile comes crashing through my memory telling me that i never did enough, i never told her that i care, i was so accustomed to taking from her that i never gave her even the thousandth part of her love. She was an asset, a gift to us who stood as our backbone in the hardest times of life……. words are useless to describe the loss, the affliction that struck at an unexpected time. I miss her , I miss her everyday……….. i love her and i will love her till my last breath and maybe even after that.

Pain in some cases is both the acknowledgment and appreciation of something truly beautiful. I’m sorry for your loss.

thanks 🙂 That’s the thing about us humans, we overcome everything even when we think we aren’t . The simple act of breathing is an act of overcoming the past.

It seems your great grandmother was a wonderful person, and I’m sorry for your loss. But your love for her lives on, and thus so does she in your heart. I pray that there she shall remain, and from her continued presence, you will continue to draw strength.
