I'm sorry "Grum", I ddin't make it
when you breathed your last breathe
and was taken from this world, to
be with "Paw", they say you died in
the middle of the night, all alone
We had visited you that afternoon,
and I could tell, you were tired and
you had missed your long-gone and
eternal love, my grandfather, and that
your time had come to join him
It made me so sad, the day that my Dad,
your son pulled up in your car, with
your belongings, and you no longer had
that glow in your face, that you once
shined and gave the room life and light
I couldn't tell you "Good-bye", that day,
before I and my brother and cousins were
to take you from that sanctuary, to your
final resting place, it was so hard to let
you go, and I didn't want to accept it
But tonight, with tears streaming down
my cheeks, because my Birthday passed, and
that is when it hits me, that you are gone,
when I don't get your funny birthday cards,
or phone calls, saying,"Happy Birhtday, HO"
What I do have, is a reminder of your love
for me, when we cleaned your house and I had
found this small yellow post-it, folded up,
and inside it read, "God bless Jeremy Cummings
Today", I love you and I miss you, my Grand Mother...

This is to my grandmother. Whether it wins or not, it doesn't matter, I had to tell her these things...

I totaly understand the place in your heart this is coming from. I have also lost loved ones, My Grandpa Lou and jsut a week ago my Aunt. It is hard to have some one leave, specialy when we can not say our goodbyes before hand. Its good though that you can remember the good times and the love you had/will always have for your grand mother.
thanks for sharring and keep writing -
Your healing is beginning jeremi.....Go with it....
