I’ve been a little quiet. It’s been more than a bit hard. We’ve had an unimaginable loss. Unimaginable because even at 94 we thought she could go on forever, Donda. Oh the loss, the void. It’s been over 30 days but it feels like last week you were turning a corner. We were still waiting on covid to end. “Protect the elderly, protect the ill.” We hated covid together. Always waiting for the big party.
My first instinct– we have lost our family’s matriarch.
But then I pause
She is living through us everyday in how we conquer life.
She was Strong.
Proof that there is nothing more important in this life than to be a kind soul.
Give love into the world, do it with kindness, expect nothing in return.
Love animals.
Work hard.
& Love each other.
A million lessons we have received slowly unwinding and pouring into life even more so now.
Especially–now
I miss her voice but it is not lost as I hear her.
I see her still– in my Mother, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.
There will never be another her.
She lives on in our lives in how we each knew her best.
I can hear her now, hold on to each other
Because that’s all there is
