I will bring her water

Today was my grandma's funeral. There's much to say and nothing all at the same time. Maybe another time.

But, the day for me was summed up in a few words my mom's best friend/my godmother said.

My mom was to give a tribute and she forgot to bring a bottle of water. My mom needs a bottle of water with her at all times, no exceptions. So, I called my godmother and asked if she could swing by the gas station on the way to the church. And she said.

"I will bring her water."

And she did. Something struck me about these words- they seem to be symbolic for how much we rely on one another, especially in difficult times.

I felt loved and surrounded today. I think that, for everything she went through in her life, my Grandma always had someone by her side who would bring her water.
