"Always and Forever"

Love blinded me. As it comforted, inspired, and gave me hope in my darkest hours, it blinded me. My father always reminds me that life works two ways: “You’re born on this Earth, and surely you will either die or be killed.” Direct, but honest. He always reminds me that nobody escapes death. Yet in my mind, I never accepted that my grandma would die. Her name is Ellen Amelia Walton-Williams, and she will always be my greatest love.
