Who would you like to talk to soon?
I would like to talk to my Ayo..
( we call “Ayo” to grandmother in our local dialect)
It’s been years since my Ayo passed away… but the pain of her absence still lingers inside me….
I miss her laughter, her smile and her comforting touch and even her scolding… She used to always pinch my ear when i would misbehave… she use to give me extra pocket money without knowledge of my parents to buy sweets …. ( You see as a child in our family we weren’t allowed to have money, all the necessary items were provided and more but we had to ask for it so that young kids would value money).
Whenever I think of her… I am overwhelmed by emotions…and it feels like a part of me has been taken away forever…
So, I find myself seeking ways to reach out to her, to hear her voice once again, to tell her how much I miss her and to share with her all the things that have been happening in my life….
At times..I close my eyes, and I can see her vividly in front of me… as if she’s still there… It feels like I can talk to her and she can hear me…
There are moments when I feel her presence around me as if she’s watching me from somewhere. These memories of her are the only way I can feel close to her, even if just for a few fleeting moments.
Whenever I think about her, I feel like I still have so much to tell her. As I grow older, I face new challenges and milestones in my life and I wish I could talk to her and ask for her advice. I miss her wisdom, her guidance, and her unwavering support… I know that if she was still alive… she would be the first person I’d call whenever I feel lost or confused.
I wish somehow I could convey to her how much she meant to me, how important she was in my life, and how much I miss her. I want to thank her for all the love, kindness, and understanding she showered upon me. I want to tell her that her memories still pierce my heart and make me emotional…
In my mind I have conversations with her.. imagining how she would respond to what I have to say. It’s like I got a letter in the mail after she passed, all those years ago. It’s like she’s still alive in my mind and heart.. but it’s not the same as having her here physically.
All of us who have lost someone special in our lives know the grief and agony that come with it… and it never really goes away…. But even though she is no longer with me, I know that her love and memories will always be with me. I cherish them, and I hold them close to my heart forever…
Grandma, I know you can’t hear me, but I miss you so much. I love you more than words can express, and I’ll always keep you close to my heart.
Until we meet again, rest in peace🌸
