Grandma’s 100th Birthday
Your last few hours
I whispered Amazing Grace
While you slipped away

I am a scientist by trade and artist by soul. My creative outlet used to be dancing but due to injuries and age, I must now find another path. I am hoping my writing, poetry and photography can be this new path.
Awards: While I am grateful and honored for the numerous nominations, I don’t have time to respond to them with the attention they deserve, so for the most part, I am an award free blog.

Wow, Christy. You had much time to love and learn from your beautiful grandmother. No wonder you have her that comforting blessing at the end, my friend.

The photo and haiku are a fine tribute to your Grandma, who was clearly doing quite well at 100. “Amazing Grace” is one of those great hymns that moves people of all faiths and even nonbelievers.

Thank you. I didn’t know it at the time but it was her favorite. I just knew the words and knew it would giver comfort. A few days later they played it her funeral. At my Dads funeral it was played by a bagpiper. Hauntingly beautiful. Hard to listen to now.
