Tribute to Ayesha Kelly

Fayrooz Kelly, Tafelsig

I really miss you so much. Rest in eternal peace my child. (I) love you forever

Poem about the loss of a granddaughter.

Granddaughters are a source of immeasurable joy for her grandparents.

Long before a granddaughter is born, she is deeply loved.

Granddaughters are often a grandmother’s best friend.

Her ally and her most precious treasure.

For a grandmother, a granddaughter is often the apple of her eye.

Her princess.

It is no surprise then, that a grandmother’s love for her granddaughter is so intense and selfless.

For this reason the loss of a granddaughter can bring on a range of difficult emotions including numbness, guilt, anger, emptiness, disbelief and deep sadness.

Love you.
