I want you to know that I thought of you today. I hope you’re resting well ❤️ _____________________________________________________________ Hey Grandma I know it’s been a long time since I wrote to you Truth be told, life’s been crazy since I finished school. Remember how I told you I wanna make mama proud? Well the journey’s been real but I bet mama is proud ——————————————————————————— You’re with the angels now they taking care of you I’m jealous because they’re enjoying all that I would People say there’s a reason for everything The Earth’s wildin’ , wouldn’t have wanted you to feel this pain. _____________________________________________________________ Grandma I remember all the talks that we had About how I could be successful if I realize my bad Not close to 30 but they proud of me Just like the smiles on their faces when I got my degree. ——————————————————————————— How are you Iya, how is God treating you? He’s been doing a good job here with all these good news Everyone’s happy we smile everyday But not the same way since we last saw your face _____________________________________________________________ Since we are here, let me tell you about my depression Young man like me with only good intentions I wanted to end it all I was hurting bad But I guess you only realize your truth when you are sad. ——————————————————————————— Sometimes I hurt I don’t feel loved enough Or is this just a feeling that’s in all of us ? I miss your old knowledge I miss your wails But here’s cheers to the future, til I see you again ❤️ ______________________________________________________________Words by Peter Pearse-Elosia, in loving memory of a woman I once knew as Iya ❤️
