Marjorie
By Max • Jul 20th, 2007 • Category: MiscI saw her emerging through the bussel of souls at the corner of Salmon and 2nd. She was smiling, the glistening smile she always had. My knees felt like jelly and my stomach shot into my throat. Four years now, and I was never given the chance to say goodbye. Every thing I packed deep in my heart to give her.. words not small enough to speak or big enough to write. Tears welled up in the corners of my eyes, pure concentrate of my regrets and apologies, she pushed me like no one else. But she was gone. When I turned there was nothing…nothing but the homeless woman who shared her smile.
Goodbye Marjorie.
I didn’t love you because of our blood, I loved you because of your heart, your determination, your ingenious spirit…and your smile. And just so you know, I may have Alberts hands, but I have your eyes. They make the world beautiful in ways only you would have seen it.
Goodbye grandma.
