You made your escape tonight...
As you eased your firm hold
you were led, lovingly into the light.
I sat in wonderment and awe,
As our family wept heartbroken tears.
I was happy for you, Dear grandpa.
You had let go of your fears.
Now in sweet peace and no longer teeth grinding pain
You are released of that broken old body
Free to be happy and strong, free to be you again.
As I sit here and I think of things to write,
I have just one favor I would like to ask of you.
When you see him grandpa, will you please let him know
...We are doing alright.
Take care of each other, we love you!

DEEPLY TOUCHING!!!!
We lose our loved ones in life and we miss them so much
but they are not truly gone for they are with us every day and night in our dreams and heart as we work and play throughout our days and nights.

Cherry~ Yes, this is something that has recently happend.
We lost grandpa on Sunday night at about 6 o'clock, he is finally free of his body which was more of a prison to him the last couple of years and especially the last 3 months.
I am not sad for him though, I am sad for my grandmother and for the loss but truly I am happy for my dear grandpa.
Thank you for commenting and for being such a kind friend.
