A flicker conveys more than words. Your light continues to keep me alive. Despite the struggles, the scattered shards from your lamp remain close to my still beating heart. Always there to watch over me, to connect with me whenever I was alone, lost, sad, or needed someone to share my sorrows. Your spirit resides in the lamp once kept by your bedside table when you were alive with a pained but joyful gasp for air and life. 'Dolly' My special name from You. Forever. My everlasting anchor to safeguard the light and love inside you gave. Moni.

Moni's Lamp
A flicker conveys more than words. Your light continues to keep me alive. Despite the struggles, the scattered shards from your lamp remain close to my still beating heart. Always there to watch over me, to connect with me whenever I was alone, lost, sad, or needed someone to share my sorrows. Your spirit resides in the lamp once kept by your bedside table when you were alive with a pained but joyful gasp for air and life. 'Dolly' My special name from You. Forever. My everlasting anchor to safeguard the light and love inside you gave. Moni.
Written in honor of my late grandma and my favorite person in the whole world. Moni. <3
