A memory so fond and true

It’s been a whole year since my grandmother took that last breath and closed her eyes forever. I still find it difficult to convince myself that she is no longer with us. Her soul was fierce, her heart was brave and her mind was strong. She was kind and sweet.

I remember like it was yesterday, her waiting for me patiently at the gate whenever I came home from school. Her smile was priceless as joy was the only emotion that swept her heart when she saw me running towards her wide open arms.

She was my guardian angel. She always made sure that I was at my best whenever she was around. Fear was just a word, her embraces and tender words were enough to convince me that the world could be a beautiful paradise to survive in.

Most of all, her love was unconditional. She was gentle and kind, A beautiful memory she left behind. Three little words “forget me not” Don’t seem much but mean a lot. A memory so fond and true, To show, dear Achchi, we think of you.
