Puff Daddy - I'll Be Missing You (Live)

Picture
This week's Monday Music is dedicated to my Grandma Gloria, who passed away on June 30th. 

It has taken me a while to grasp the fact that I will never have a conversation with her again, as she was always filled with so much joy and gave me so much unconditional love. 

This song made me tear up a little when I listened to it, so I thought it would be perfect for this week, as I have begun to understand the fact that she is gone.

I don't know how one is supposed to deal with death - I am often confused exactly what to do. Death is a part of life...I understand that. But, I also understand that she had an amazing life and left an amazing legacy, especially because she worked on the first computer ever, called the ENIAC. She was a woman pioneer in the computer industry. Her will, self-determinism, and selflessness has helped shape me into the person that I am today.

Grandma is the one kneeling
I will never forget when I was little and she used to watch my brother, sister, and me, because my parents were divorced, so my mom had to work. She would pick us up after school, take us to our sport practices, and help us with our homework. We'd always go shopping with her, and she would buy us all types of junkfood, even though she knew my mom hated junkfood ;).  Also, she used to sing all the time, played the piano beautifully, and was a genius mathematician. 

Honestly, I will miss her sincere kindness so much. 

As I begin to tear up once again, I know that my grandma is watching over me and she is singing her songs and playing her piano, while putting more into relationships than she receives.

RIP Grandma Gloria. I love you and will never forget you.

This is a great dedication page. I could fully relate to this page due to the loss of my grandfather whom I was very close with. Death is a very hard thing and you couldn't have written about this any better.
