Sending My Goodbye Letter To The Heavens
She is finally gone.
She had the mind eater disease.
Not Alzheimer but vascular dementia.
It was caused by contentious strokes.
It turns you into a zombie eventually after all the hallucinations finally disappear.
Sitting on the furniture with a blank stare.
She was my gram.
I went as a kid to Trustville Alabama each summer to be with her and my grandfather.
To visit my cousin, uncle and aunts all my mom side of my family.
Sometimes by bus, sometimes by car.
A thirty-six hour drive.
A ride of many sites and good times.
So many happy memories.
Something she had lost so long ago.
I happy she finally went, yet I want to crawl in a hole and just die.
As each tear streams down my cheek I remember everything she taught and did for me.
She was part of me.
She made me who I am today.
She made me go to church when I didn't want go.
Every Sunday like clockwork.
She was southern baptist.
She took me to the movies all the time.
She took me to the library every week I was their.
She taught me manners and respect.
She also spoiled me at times.
She took me to theme parks in Georgia.
She took me to the beach in Florida.
And when I was bad she chased after me with a switch.
Me, my sisters, and cousins would play a game of stealing and beat each other with it.
More then one them got broke that way.
The she would have to go get a new one.
I never got to say goodbye.
Not that she still knew who I was.
But it would have made me feel a little better.
So now I write this letter.
To tell her I am still doing alright.
May it reach her perch in the amber white heavens.
Let her know the love will never be forgotten.
I will deeply miss you.
Their is now another hole in my heart that never be filled.
Another one of my angels is gone.
I will never be able to bring her back.
So I must never forget.
That is part of where I came from and who I am.
With all the love that be given, Always Your Grandson, John David Bastian.
