i remember...

I remember the many memories with her I remember being a child sitting in her lap I remember eating cookies and milk with her I remember her singing and dancing I remember my first summer alone with her to another country I remember I helping her while we were in her cabin I remember when we would talk I remember all the advice she gave me I remember her cooking I remember her singing in the car I remember her many laughs I remember her picking me up from school I remember hating her driving I remember our family gatherings, and her stories I remember her telling me “If you’re going to do something, then do it right” I remember her kisses on my cheeks I remember the pain of knowing she’s gone I remember her telling my brother and I “Don’t cry when I’m gone because I’ll be in a better place” I remember looking at her and knowing she will always be with me
