The Life and Times of one Dark Divah

Dear God Mother…

Something I wrote on a forum today made me think of you. I’m sorry I haven’t been to see you in a while, but my life has been a little bit of crazy in the last little while. I am aching to get out there and cradle that sweet baby girl that has come into your life. You are going to be a fantastic Grand mother, I know this for a fact because of the love you have always shown me.

Remember all the years you made me birthday cakes?  I remember them, white cake with raisins, jam center and chocolate frosting.  When I turned 16 I asked you to stop making them, but I would give my right arm for one of those cakes this year.
I miss you. I miss hearing you laugh and I miss hearing you sing and even though I no longer follow the faith I was raised in, I miss going to church with you. Sunday was always a fun day with you and when I close my eyes and allow myself to go back I can easily recall exactly how your perfume smelled as it gently wafted after you as you scurried yourself around trying to get the boys ready to go.

You and my God Father- may the Gods keep him well in their care- took me in when I had nowhere else to go. I know I played my God daughter card just right when I put you on the spot, and you didn’t let me down because you kept the promises that you made when you stood for me at my baptism as an infant. I will always be grateful for having you in my corner.


 I know becoming an instant mother to a teenaged girl who was rather head strong and not quite on the right path wasn’t an easy thing for you to do, but you kept me safe, made me feel loved and treated me as if I had always been a member of your household and my darling Uncle, whom I miss so much that it moves me to tears, gave me the one thing that a teenaged wayward girl was missing in her life. He gave me the loving support of a father. I will never forget the morning I saw him in his underwear, he acted as if I’d caught him stark naked, he was mortified and I nearly fell down the stairs laughing.
When the call came that told me of his passing, I could not get “home” fast enough. I knew with everything that was in me that you would need me there and I made my husband take time off work to stay with the kids because my place was at your side.  I know that some of the family members didn’t like it when I stormed in and took the reigns, but I did what needed to be done to honor my uncle and the biggest compliment given to me was the day you told everyone that you would never have survived that time had it not been for me.
I’m glad I got to give back one ounce of what you have given to me.

I love you and I miss you and I PROMISE that I will move heaven and earth to see you before the holidays are over.

About the Author
DarkDivah (RaziCichlid)What to say? What to say?
I've been kicking around Delphi since  ohhh about 1999.
I'm an aspiring author and all around nut-job.
I'm a Pagan and my path is wherever my feet happen to take me.
I'm just a little light, just a little dark and a whole lot opinionated.
I'm a free thinker and have no idea whether or not anything I say will be relevant to anyone other than me, but I'm going to say it anyhow.
You can steal my sunshine, but you can't have my thunder.
