October 28th 2022:

When your run slows to a walk
I will match your stride
When your walk turns to limps
I will be your crutch
When you are unable to move forward
I will sweep you into my arms
And move for the both of us
When your breath shallows
I will breathe less air
for you to have more

And when you take your last inhale
I shall try to give you my own

But all I will hear is silence
And I will be alone.

-to grandma, my best friend
