On my way home from the nursing home today, I stopped at traffic lights. As I waited, I pressed the buttons on my phone, sending my friend a text message. The last word of the 3-word message kept coming up wrong - at least it was not what I was intending to say. Although I kept pressing 'options', somehow each 'wrong' message struck me as incredibly true and right.
My message said this:
'She is good'
then
'She is home'
then, finally, what I was trying to say all along
'She is gone'.
Mama, my darling Mama, may you fly free and rest easy.

Oh Jelly, I'm so sorry.
That predictive text option will do that to you - it is amazing how many unplanned options are correct.
Oh my dear, I am so sorry.
{{{hugs}}}
On a cheerier note, predictive text can lead you up the most amazing garden paths.
A Beautiful tribute.
You say so much with so few words.
She's proud of you.
Hugs to you. I'm sure she is resting easy now. And home, and good.
Jellyhead,
Gone home IS good!

Jelly, blessings to you and yours.
I am thinking of you xxx
Jelly... you are in my thoughts and prayers.
True hugs sent to you from here.
Hugs Jelly.xx
I hate trying to send messages with that darn predictive text. No wonder these kids have turned it off and write in code.
Sorry she is gone.
Jelly, I'm so sorry! Are you referring to your mother, or your grandmother? My heart is in my throat...wondering. Could you please e-mail and let me know?
Hugs and prayers to you Sweety.
xoxo
Just in case anyone else, like Kerri, was unsure - Mama is, was, my grandmother - my Mum's mother.
Love thoughts and really big hugs.

I can not text for some strange reason. I just love to talk and can't manage to do more than call and say hello.
