I remember
I remember playing under the willow trees,
and eating our famous sandwiches,
and our eyes popping out when watching ice skating on your TV,
and our toes in the warm sand at the beach,
and holiday dinners with you,
and painting at your house, then bringing it home to show mommy and daddy,
and spending the night with my brother,
and you helping me write stories,
and hearing about your cancer,
and seeing you sick lying in bed,
I remember you grandma.
