Letters to a Friend, XXIV, – Happy Birthday Nana

What has it been, Nana, a thousand years since I last saw you- or even heard your voice?

 Your voice- I will always try remembering.
Today is your birthday, and by nature there is great difficulty in celebrating a Life that ceases to exist; it is not, however, redundant. We miss you, – myself and the trees, as well as the sky and the breeze,- we all dearly miss your infectious spirit. You are my GrandMother and to me, your ambition is what guided me to new waters and as a man still learning,  I will never forget the love you’ve introduced into my life. 

You were not just my Grandmother, you were a Rock in my life that helped repair the foundation of all my Earths. I cannot allow for the passing of a day without you, in the most earnestness of inflection. You walk with God now, no longer an Angel of Earth.
I received an awful phone call last night. It was from Mum’s boyfriend , Lance, who told me that Mum was in Jail. He told me that she had a meltdown and had to be taken away by force in an ambulance. She is now in Jail and my day is ruined, worried, and concerned about the thoughts that may be swimming through Mum’s mind.
I know that you would have the answers for me today, of all days, on your birthday, when I need you the most, my Rock, my Late grandmother. I miss you. I miss you. I miss you.
I have been able to continue somehow, as I’ve said, each day, with these inflections- devoid of a Rock. And so, it is today that I plead to my Angel in Heaven, please find my Mother, – your daughter, – and comfort her in her Solace.
I love you so much Nana and that never changes, – I look for you still.
