The Obituary

His last breath
Monitors beeping
Tubes in and out of everywhere
In the blink of a day
What happened?
So many unanswered questions
My brain is about to explode!

Goodbye Grand Best Friend
I’ll always remember, “Hey Darling.”
The smirk, the way you regarded me
And the “little rascal”
Your beautiful gray natural hair
The dentures that you teased us with
Your waddle from getting up there in age
Your smiles with infectious laughter

Your impeccable chef capabilities
Making a life for yourself
The admiration we shared of becoming something way greater in life!

I hurt for you
Imagining your last days, hours, minutes
Wishing I could’ve given you peace
Comforted you in these difficult times
You became my secret grand best friend.

It hurts to say goodbye, for this could’ve been prevented
Or was it “really” your time?
My intuition rattles

I hate to write this,
My eyes blistering from crying
I cannot believe you are gone in the flesh
21 days ago, your 84th birthday

Trembling weakness shot through my body
My muscles relaxed
Bringing me to my knees
Everything aches
My mind unclear
I can’t hear you anymore!

Farewell Grand Best-friend
Visit me in my dreams,
Play on in my memories
Buried inside my heart

I love you Grand Best-friend
Until we meet again
