Special to AppleTree
T
he stillness of her body does
not mean she is gone.
She still creates noise within
our hearts, which is not a burden,
like pain, but the quick splash of
memories.
I remember her strawberry-blond
hair and, the nights when she
would listen to a football game
on her large clock radio while I
slept on her pink silk pillows,
which through the eyes of a little
girl seemed a fantasy.
I am the youngest so my memo-
ries may seem simple, but those
are the ones that make her real.
She was passionate about jus-
tice, fairness and politics.
From her, to my mother, to my
sister, and to myself is passed a
strength.
To use words in protest, to
prance around with indepen-
dence, and to accept.
She knew a perfect love, a man
I never knew but I'm told he
robbed the cradle stealing a
beauty so young but with plenty
f .
Or
o vigor.
The black and white of her time
never captured her true radiance.
She was the head of the table,
the sister to some, the mother to
some, the grandmother to some,

and a story for others.
As she curtsies into a new realm
I am merely happy that unlike the
stars we beseech, I had the
chance to meet, to listen, to kiss
and to honor my grandmother.
Smile, she always liked it when
we made her laugh. fl

funeral of her grandmother, Betty
Mittleman, • last September. "It was
a moving experience for everyone
involved," Lindy Bruton says. "I
think others might be interested in
how some young people deal
with our life passages."
