I remember the trailer, we used to go play,
I would sit and garden with her all day.
A wonderful woman, I miss her so much,
her god fearing ways, her sensitive touch.
Never did she raise her voice, we respected her,
a beautiful soul, shining bright and pure.
I miss Grandma Ruth; Grandpa Bob, Grandma Bethel as well,
but they watch over us still, this I can tell.
All were great people when here on this earth,
now that they are gone, I realize their true worth.
They had old time morals, believed in our God,
were true human beings, didn't put on a facade.
I Love them, I miss them, they were true to their soul,
to meet them when I die is my ultimate goal...

This is pure love. I miss mine so much too, they just don't make them like that anymore. My grandfather was my life, he taught me respect, honor, truth and most of all unconditional love.
I know he is with me everyday, but I too hope to see him again one day. As is with my other grandparents, but for different reasons.
Beautiful words of tribute.
