It evoked sweet memories in my mind and brought tears to my eyes and joy to my soul. You are an amazing wordsmith. May I join everyone else who's grown to love and admire you and Granny over the years and say the warmest, sincerest thoughts and good wishes are sent your way both for Granny's health and your life. I will leave you with a couple of quotes regarding the moon - “I'm standing on the moon, with nothing left to do, with a lonely view of heaven, but I'd rather be with you” “The night walked down the sky with the moon in her hand.” “May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night and a smooth road all the way to your door.” I loved this post, Tony.

In the grand scope of things we really are. I always found an odd sort of comfort in knowing that. Life is a gift and the best we can hope for is to love and be loved. I have know doubts about the love you have for granny and she you. I hope for the best T. Looking up at the moon always made me feel small and insignificant.

I'm sorry to hear that Granny's not doing so good... You and Granny are in my thoughts... As I read your post, I couldn't help but wonder if she slept by a window... When she gazes at the moon, what does she see... Her husband, children, you being happy? Maybe she travels to when she was young and free, falling in love for the first time... a conversation with Granny would be awesome... all the experiences shes gathered over the years... Although she would probably just ask me why I have so much metal in my head... Why I would want to do that to myself... Sorry for the ramble... Just thinking about Granny, and missing my Grandma... Love from Atlanta Hey LT… great post… I’m sorry to hear that Granny’s not doing so good… You and Granny are in my thoughts… As I read your post, I couldn’t help but wonder if she slept by a window… When she gazes at the moon, what does she see… Her husband, children, you being happy?

Sorry for the ramble… Just thinking about Granny, and missing my Grandma…

Wondering, worrying, wishing, waiting. I'm a firm believer that all things happen for a reason, that no meetings are accidental, that everyone enters and exits our lives with a purpose, and that the Universe has perfect timing. It's just not always easy to see it at the time. I continue to keep you and yours in my thoughts and prayers. Often, I too find myself late at night, watching the moon and stars.

Nice post. I liked the connection with your wondering about the attorney and how the moon shines in his room and if he looks out of the window. Romantic. Nice.

My grandma loved the moon - and after she died, I used to tell myself that she was looking down from the moon and watching out for me

I still often keep a vigil during the night, standing at the window looking out, watching the moon cast her light over the world. I imagine that moonlight spilling into the rooms, and over the graves of those I love. It's an intimacy that connects me to a love that never ceases. Granny will always be with you, wherever you are. Always. I did the same thing when I was a kid … staring up into the night sky, becoming a part of something bigger than me.
