"Saudade"

-

By Lisa HPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I'd arrived at my grandmother's house three days ago, attended the funeral, and started the slow dig through her belongings. It had been a healing experience - until I found the strange markings under her bed with something in Portuguese.

I sent pictures from my cell phone to my cousin. "What does this mean?"

I stared at the screen for a long time.

"Sinto sua falta. Entre aqui.

I miss you. Enter here."

    So much unsaid. Such an invitation. Into her heart, her life, her bed, or something infinitely more vast?
