"Love, Grammie"

How could two simple words elicit a flood of tears from me this morning? It was not what was said that brought the emotions, but what was NOT said that spoke volumes. The signature was simply and solely, “Love, Grammie.” The absence of Poppy’s name on my husband’s birthday card was glaringly evident and it hit me hard. Grief is unpredictable. It comes on its own timetable.
