I really loved her so very much. She was like a second gran to me (she was almost 88 year's old!). It is therefore, that, besides this beautiful poem, I would also like to post here an attempt of a 'translation' in English of the poem I wrote a few years ago in Dutch for my granny, to honour my friend in my own words. (The poem in Dutch destined for my granny, who was my best friend, I will post on February 15th, the day she died.)
Attempt of an English translation of my granny's poem. I tried my best to make it as readable as possible : )
Thank you so much, Monique, for the part of the road we walked together!
