News of complete devastation
That I really was not ready for
Came on the day that you told us
Soon you would be with us now more
They told us you had 8 weeks
Just eight small weeks to prepare
To get used to the idea
That after this you wouldnt be there
They told us to keep postitive
They said you could last for longer
If you kept a postive attitude
If your mind and heart were stronger
If only I had spent more time with you
If only I could have known
That we had such little left
I would have never left you alone
If only I could express with words
If I could have found that words to show
Just how much I loved and adored her
And that I didn't want her to go
If only there was something I could have done
To help take all that pain away
So she didn't have to suffer the way she did
Name the price I would have paid
If only they could have been nicer
The way they told us was like they didnt care
It was like she didn't matter to them
They said it with such a vacant stare
If we weren't by her bedside
If we weren't there with her
It really makes me wonder
If she would have even been heard
6 long months have passed now
6 months she has been gone
It hasn't got any easier
It still feels so wrong
I should be able to call her
I should be able to talk
I should be able to tell her
That NANA emma can walk
But she won't get to see that
All these moments she will miss
And why she had to be taken
I will never understand this
She always was a fighter
But this battle was over before it began
I miss you so much always and forever
I'll always love you Nan
Please tell me what you think

WOW.. I think that this is a wonderful poem i felt an dstill feel the same way about my unlce who died of cancer and this poem just gets every thing out and it's also very well writen i loved it great work

So really moving
I could feel your anguish and the love. I can relate to this so closely its unreal. My mother went into a coma and that was so hard. She was a fighter too. She had a cancer tumor on her brain yet two days before she passed she was conscious, I'll never forget the last time our eyes met I new it was our last and somehow I think she knew it to. Anyway your poem was wonderfully composed I enjoyed it and it touched me. good write and thank you for sharing

This was such a revisit to so much pain for me. My dad though. Hey dad, matt can walk, talk, read and even - now - play drums good as you my darling dad. See? It never really goes away - 25/6 years for me. Keep the memory alive for emma. It works honey.
-
I like this poem. It flows very very well. It is true you don't know what you have till it's gone.
-
you can tell by your words and just by the way they are put together how much you cared about her, and how much you miss her. and thisis poem is so sad, and just so full of emotions. the second to last stanza i think is the best one out of all of them, its [i believe] the hardest part about losing somebody. having to deal with them being gone, when you still want to call them and do everything that you once did.
amazing job.

Hun u just told her how much you love her and miss her. She can see when your lil emma starts to walk. She with you each and every day. And she will show you, little by little that she is still there. (my moms best friend mary, her husband passed i think 7 years ago or something. the other day she was in the shower and she felt something actually tug on her ring finger like 3 times, she hasnt worn her wedding ring because its too small now and she didnt get it fixed,we believe her husband was telling her to get her butt moving and fix the dam ring lol) lil things like this will happen. im sorry for your lose. but know shes always with you

She always was a fighter
But this battle was over before it began
I miss you so much always and forever
I'll always love you Nan...
This is it and this is life..no one can define and no one can change its results of life..you are here with very touchy write my friend...truely a very deep journey of the heart covering several flashes of the thoughts and the concept of the truth stated in its true picture of life as well.. a great work here..

First I want to say how sorry I am about your loss
. We are facing the same situation at present. My mother in law was given 3 to 6 months to live due to lung cancer. That was over a month ago. Your poem is a very loving tribute to your "Nan". May I bring your attention to something though....you start of by addressing her...and then about halfway through {stanza 5] you change the tone and start talking about her. But maybe that is intentional...it just seems that maybe it should have continued to address her [as to make it an entire write TO her]Once again , I am so sorry. I know you will keep her in your fondest memories,

Oh Mara! its really nice to see you writing again, this literally bought tears to my eyes!! I honestly dont know what to say, other than, I know she's looking down on you, and little Emma and smiling at how much you've achieved! Always remember that!
