I remember
When I rode
My first bike
Without any help...
I fell off
And cried and cried
Then he picked me up
Kissed it and made it better...
I remember
When he would
Take me in his arms
And tell me how he loved me
And tell me that I
Was his sweetie Pie
I remember
When he would
come into my room
And chase all the
Monsters away
I remember
When I called his home
My second home
Because he always took me in
I remember
When he would hug me
And tell me how much
He loved me
I remember
All the trips we took
From Florida to Colorado
From the Smokies to the Rockies
To Canada to California
All that fun I had with him...
I remember
My last visit with him...
Laying in that hospital bed...
Lifeless...
June 27, 2007...
I remember
I thought he was invincible...
But now he's gone home with God...
This man I am talking about
Was my grandfather...

This is an amazing and emotional write. I know how you feel all too well, I want to let you know that everything will be fine, and that someday you will see him again. Grandparents are almost always the first people we lose that really gets to us. You can talk to me anytime you need to.

that is so very true... I have had like a million people like I'm so sorry that happened... well, don't be sorry... be thankful that he had lived such a great life! because he did! he traveled all over the world, I got to go with him on vaca all the time... haha. I do miss him, but yeah, I'm celebrating his life... it still doesn't seem like he's gone... *sigh*
