No More 102

It was a matter of days,

maybe even hours


I thought I would wake up,

to you on Thanksgiving


Instead I fall asleep,

to losing you


A few hours,

before Thanksgiving


I fell asleep,

gasping for air,


crying to the point of exhaustion,

giving myself a migraine,


my veins strained,

as I lose my eyesight


I was not prepared

Grand-mom


I want you back

with all who care


As heart-breaking

as this is


I must say that

I am thankful for


you living a long life

being around for over 102 years


I am thankful that

you are now at peace


and I am thankful that

you are now reunited


with your beloved husband

and all of your children


Rest in peace

Grand-mom Maude


I miss you

I love you
