9 day prayer novena finished yesterday; today was her funeral mass and actual laying in the ground. It decided to snow again during the event. I was holding it rather well until the mass and then being at the actual site. She loved music and I decided to sing between sobs “Amazing Grace.”
I hope to be even a fraction of who she was. She always knew I was the “black sheep” of her 30 grandchildren (yeah, we’re a big tribe), but she never thought less of me. Even though I’m not a practicing Catholic, those songs are in my bones and they ache, thinking of her. I do not deny how easy it is nor how rich my voice still comes out when I sing these songs. So somewhere, the gift will serve its purpose.
Thank you for understanding and sharing this space with me in remembering her. Lola Pauline, may your love and kindness help us all be better people until our time comes.
