Today at 6:00am

My cell phone rang at 6am. 
I wasn't sleeping...
My Uncle's name in the display. 
My Father's brother. 
He spoke words we knew where close.... 
expected.....
Granny died. 
Daddy's mother. 
My Granny. 
I took the task of notification. 
I called my brothers, woke my sister
....told my children..my husband. 
Tomorrow we travel 
to the lay her to rest on Monday,
in a little South Alabama 
country church 
cemetery.

This picture was taken 6 weeks before Daddy died.
Rest now Granny...I love you!
