July 20 beautiful.when i tell you
she's beautiful,
would you believe me?
would you inquire as to her beauty,
whether she was blessed with blue eyes,
auburn hair, a button nose, succulent lips -
and whatnot?
well let me tell you now,
the answer is no.
her eyes are brown,
her hair is already lined with white,
her nose is round,
her lips chapped.
that is what you will see
when you look at her.
well let me tell you now,
what i see.
i see her hands,
aged by a heart that never stops loving
worked by an unconscious caring.
i see her hair,
taken over by white strands
that match the silver lining of clouds -
for she is ever optimistic
and the strongest woman i have ever met.
i see her eyes,
these eyes that have seen death
that have beheld death for days upon days,
these same eyes that cry
for the pain of others'
more than they would surrender
to the pain she has to endure.
are the same eyes that cry
when she laughs
for she cannot help it,
that is how she laughs.
and it is with my eyes
that i see her:
this superwoman of 73 with
incredible stamina, strength, charisma
matched with the heart of a true mother.
and that is how i know,
she's beautiful.

Happy 73rd Birthday Grandma.
 July 17 Grandpa.it happened again,
the whole reading when i'm sad thing.
another Mitch Albom,
Tuesdays with Morrie.
it just happened to be there.
i didn't finish it in two hours
though i could've
but then i thought
what's the rush.
i'm not in a hurry
to accept this loss.
for Grandpa,
who, could give us whatever we wanted,
always gave us what we needed.
"Death ends a life, not a relationship."
Rest In Peace.
