That Are Gone

When someone you love most dies, and you are not expecting it, you thought she was just fine.
When someone you love most dies, you don't lose her all at once, you lose her piece by piece over a very long time.
Her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers.
And gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone.

I still miss you, Grandma.
I still.
