I was so excited!
Sleep was not quite near.
A Memorial Service for my Granddad; Killed In Action in Korea.
Along with all the others
whose lives were lost back then.
60 years of sorrow for all those Service Men.
Off to Westminster Abbey with my Mum, to finally heal.
It's amazing,
the commemoration actually made things real.
Sweet memories began to form
of being on the back of his bike,
growing into a conversation about the amount that I would like
both my Grandad and my Nan,
whom both have passed on now.
Stating how I'm like my Nan and the reasons how.
The service gave a chance for us to lay some ghosts to rest.
To hear my Mum talk of them
made me glad I sought the quest.
A few more pieces slotted in about the lack of chance to grieve
and the tears dropped at The Last Post healed like you wouldn't believe.
After,
during a lovely lunch and a chance to reminisce,
I discovered that nothing was talked about;
I now understand this.
The healing that took place today was for my Mum and me.
For my Mum to release her blocks
and for me to finally see
how not being given a chance to grieve
makes you feel that something's wrong
and eventually when the time comes
the road to there is long.
Today was the last step for the grief.
For my Mum this was the start
of her journey
on through the rest of her life with a joyful, happy heart.
