hoped to celebrate
grandma’s one hundredth birthday
but she passed away…
left us behind with no cake
she’s partying in heaven!
Elsie’s 100th tanka challenge at Ramblings of a Writer. My dear Grandma Gertie nearly reached 100 years…can you imagine living for a century?

She definitely must be partying and remembering good days. Nice.

Thanks, Indira…of course, we miss her but she’s blessed.

Sweet words, but sad.

Yes, it was heart-breaking…now with years, sweet memories remain.
