As the light fades into a retreating night,
The doctors and everyone else say that your mind does fizzle.
You do remember me, right?
.
A woman always with a smile so bright.
My grandmother who taught me what it was to never shrivel
As the light fades into a retreating night.
.
You endured every single fight
Even with a memory that started to sizzle.
You do remember me, right?
.
A historied woman who came on a flight
To this country: your loved ones share stories official
As the light fades into a retreating night.
.
I think of you as you rest tonight
And I cannot help it if it's loud, my sniffle.
You do remember me, right?
.
I hope one day that we can reunite
When everything no longer feels so superficial.
As the light fades into a retreating night,
You do remember me...right?
For my grandmother: in memory. 20 August 1932 - 8 December 2023

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.

Beautiful and oh such deep feeling...

What a wonderful tribute to your grandmother. Sorry for your loss. What a way to commemorate her.
Aw, damn. This was powerful, so heartbreaking, yet with so much beauty. Well done on a stunning tribute piece and sending you prayers and love. Sorry for your loss.
