God received another Angel a week ago today. As my uncle said during her Eulogy, "If anyone deserves an express ride into heaven, it's Claire Cislo. My Grandmother was the most godly, gracious and unselfish person I have ever known. She was always putting others first and would have done anything for her family or friends. We can all aspire to be a bit more like her. I know that I will continue to live my own life in a way that my Grandmother would have approved of. With her gone, I feel a selfish emptiness inside me as I deeply wish she were still here with us all, but in reality my grandmother has been gone for over three years. After her second AVM, she just wasn't strong enough to come back as her healthy, bubbly, strong self. She always used to say "I have one more good comeback" oh and she did. After her first AVM, she had a full recovery within 18 months of the incident. How amazing it was to see the will of that woman prevail over such an awful experience. Truthfully, my grandmother would not have liked the woman she became after that second incident. The rest of us, we loved her all the same but my grandmother is truly in a better place now where she is happy and healthy and surely having laughs with all the other angels.
My grandfather has been waiting on her for 14 years and its beautiful knowing they are reunited.
You are forever in my heart Grandmother. I know you are still with me in spirit even though your vessel no longer owns it. You are the beautiful sunset I saw landing in Charlotte on my way to your funeral, and the dreams I have of you are because you're present with me. I feel so blessed to have had you be such a big part of my life for the time that we had and you will continue to be an important aspect of my life even now. You make me want to be a better person. I love you like dazzling now and forever. May your journeys be peaceful.
