SAYING GOODBYE

My dear grandmother, the only person on earth who never caused me any pain. She was a source of pure and sweet unconditional love that I hope everyone gets to experience once her lifetime. She loved with the innocence of a child.

At the age of 30, my grandmother was diagnosed with Schizophrenia. She suffered many hardships due to her illness and so did her children (my mother included). Despite years of treatment, in patient care, and loads of medication, sadly, with this illness no cure is to be found.

So, you see, she did have innocence of a child and she loved and cared for me with all her heart. I was blessed to have her pass at my home and will always cherish that she spent her last days here by our side.

I must admit, I felt a sense of relief with her passing. I rejoiced for her being free of her illness, free of the fog of the medication, and free of the years of mental illness. I imagine her in heaven rejoicing with Jesus. His earthly angel finally made it home.

LOVE YOU GRANDMA CELE!
