In 2004 my family was upheaveled with my grandmother's untimely passing. Last night at sometime after 930 Alberta time, 27/02/2021 We lost my grandfather. He was hospitalized in 2016 to remove cancer in his jaw, he survived. Beat it. But it made him weaker. Soon though, we would find out that his balance was getting weaker. He remained cancer free. During his last month before he grew his wings, he kept falling, they thought it had to do with his blood pressure so they admitted him to get it sorted. Soon one thing, became another. He failed his swallow test, small portions of food or liquid would enter his lungs and cause phnemonia, which would weaken him each time he got it. He turned down a feeding tube. He was bed ridden. We found out last night, ten minutes after he passed by my aunt in Nova Scotia.  My family's heart is breaking, and as normal when I'm feeling a massive amount of emotion I can't release, I write. 

Please, Please, if you have mean comments about it, or if you have any nasty remarks about this being a "normal" Life experience.. Keep them to yourself.  

Another Cloud Nine

I wish I may, I wish

I might, Have this wish

I make tonight

Upon the cloud nine

You stayed. Wings fluttering

In the wind the world makes

I wish this night, of another

To join your smaller cloud,

To make it a giant fluffy

Cloud nine.

Shining star within the night

Sky, please listen to the

Grieving hearts that plead

With you to allow this wish

To be granted..

To have another angel gained

To have the pain he felt fade

To have his laughter joined by

Those who cared.

Brightest star within the heavens

Please, allow us to be greedy for

A moment and allow our hearts

To break..

To miss him forever, to miss his hugs,

His stories, his laughter.

Trumpets of  heaven called him

Home.. to the one who’s cloud nine

Was made first.

We weren’t ready for this, we were

Not prepared. Oh please, shining

Wishing star, please allow us more time?

Just a moment of his time,

to be allowed to say what

 hasn’t been said. To meet

those he will never now meet.

I wish I may..

.. I wish I might..

.. Please grant my wish

Allow me to see another

Cloud nine.

Where One angel who waited for

So long, rejoined her love left

Behind so long ago,

Embrace in a hug.

A hug to last eternity.

Star light,

Star bright,

Keep them safe,

In your light.

Nicely done, little sister.
