Sometimes

I image being in her church

is

Apart of my grieving and healing ❤️‍🩹

I don’t laugh as much in church again

And sometimes when no one sees

A lil tear comes. Not a lot of times though

So, writing her name is an act of

Remembering

And making people remember

Ivy use to make such a grand effort to come.

And she was coming for support

And coming to a sort of membership

She wasn’t a high member but she was a member and that did something for her

She had a pastor

Lol every Sunday she would send me to look to see if envelopes there for her

And she only want to put in $2.00

Two BIG woman and she only want to put in $2.00. Embarrassing

And if I put in $20.00 she says it’s to much money.

She took writing her name for me on the envelop as a joyous moment. to share her writing with her teacher granddaughter … #bonding#proudgrandmother

Now Rhianna has not claimed the church either. She says we going to Sunday school at grandma’s church. I said yes it’s her church. Her name is Ivy.

I think she would have been happy to see us here. Then Rhinana would tell me bring mommy to church next week.
