Thinks & Inks
Fabric
She was the fabric of our lives
Keeping us all together
Her house
Is the only house big enough
For all of us at holidays
Her laughter,
Her amazing skills at cards
Her smile
What will come of us without her?
Without her to hold us all
Together?
Her house will be sold,
Someone else’s family will gather there
We won’t get together anymore
She was the reason we did it at all
Without her,
Our family is without a captain,
A ship,
Rudderless
We’ll all just sink back
Into the shells of our lives
That we’ve made in her absence,
Visit the in-laws more,
I suppose
And what will come of me?
The only one to have moved
So helpless from 13 hours away
Not being able to be there
As she breathes her last
And our lives unravel
I thought of her as immortal,
For I could not fathom my life without her
What will become of us?
We will move on, somehow
And grow from this,
Somehow
We will have to…
Somehow.

May you play bingo, winning all the prizes and beat all the angels terribly in wild rummy. May you watch the Huskers from the best seats in the house on Saturdays. Win a 300 game in bowling again with Grandpa by your side once more.
I will wear purple for you, always…
