Seven Years

Today makes seven years that she has been gone. I miss Mamaw with just about every fiber in my being. Since Bobby took her voice off the voicemail, I can’t even hear her now.

I want her around now. I want her to know my Doll. I think she would have loved Joseph. She was always a sucker for puppy eyes and sob stories. She would have made damn sure his parents were at his side when we married. I wouldn’t get to hold my daughter because I could not bear to take her away from Mamaw. If possible, Jesse would be even more spoiled. Children were always drawn to her, even those that weren’t her own.

Seven years seems like a long time, but not long enough to end the pain left when she passed away. Its especially hard now knowing that the type of cancer she had can be cured using cord blood stem cells. Imagine that, babies saving lives.

I lost my grandmother about the same time. Hope your pain gets better.
