When Grandee Alice died, her grandchildren were devastated by her loss.
Annie and Jack had walked the countryside with Grandee, where she led them along the landscape. Annie held Grandee’s hand, feeling her fingers brush along the sage bushes that littered the fields. Jack gasped after seeing a rainbow.
The sun was into the dusky night. They headed back to Grandee’s farmhouse where she brought slices of watermelon to the porch, juice soon running down faces. Grandee looked off to the farm. Resilience was part of her life, what she left behind was in Annie and Jack’s hands.
Gazing at them, she drank in the art of God’s creations.

DeleteLovely. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI would love to wander there and chase to the end of the rainbow.
DeletePretty rainbow.
ReplyDeleteHave not seen a rainbow in ages.
DeleteDid you have to look up Grandee? I did.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did, but ignored it. My grandkids called their "Grandee" so there you so.
DeleteI just was surprised by a rainbow last week while walking the dog. Always a fun sight no matter how old you are! Memories of those that were a special part of our lives are precious. I know my kiddos have many memories of the gentleman's farm my in-laws had where we spent many hours outdoors enjoying the landscape with them. Have a happy July 4th celebration!
