Broken Promises Part 2

A month ago..

Tabbi: 'I'm worried about you Grandma...'
Grandma: 'Well don't be, you have problems of your own! I promise that I will be here when you get back. No matters what, I'll hold on....'
Tabbi: 'You'd better....'

Last week when she passed away, I told myself it was okay to break my promise of singing at her funeral because she broke her promise. But DWYSYWD kept ringing through my mind....my word is my bond! So I booked a flight to SLC but I found out during my layover in Tokyo that her funeral was being held in Spokane (instead of Utah). She tried to hold on and likewise, I tried to make it to her funeral. I only made it to sing at her burial in Utah. Neither of us kept our promises but we certainly tried. Some things are out of our control. I traveled 14,000 miles traveled this week to say good bye, I hope she knew how much I loved her..
