My grandmother, my surrogate mother when you made certain that your daughter became educated. I speak of you in the now because we are alive from your womb and thus you still live. Your last early breath I ration through mine until the end of my days because long was your suffering but eternal is your peace, your love and allegiance to God. You heard My whisper and now you are-vindicated!
Blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh.
With love,
Sandra Vilbrun-Bruno, Grand-daughter
