I hated you when I was young because you never stopped Grandpa from hurting me
And don't you dare tell me that you couldn't see
Because You was there when he made me tell Uncle Kevin sorry for putting him in Jail
And making him stay with me when he got out on bail
You knew of the things he did to me as a child
But yet you all said my mind just runs wild
To this day I'm told I'm a liar behind my back
But let me tell you something your son had sex with me and that's a fact
Over the years you've ignored what's really true
And I think I've decided to forgive you
We started to get closer then ever before
And I didn't hate you so much anymore
Now you lay in a hospital bed
And before long they say you'll be dead
Taking you home to die
And I'm left here away from everyone to cry
Incase you need me too
I'm forgiving you
So if Heaven is true
It's a place I wish for you
I love you Nanny I hope you see
That all I ever wanted was you to love me
I'll cry when your deceased
But I hope you REST IN PEACE

Thank you for sharing this story with us because it is a true life event and shows the stages of relationships/emotions and how we can grow and still love a person on some level.
I am so sad for your hurt, though, and wish it never happened, of course.

I am sorry for the Grand Pa
I have a Grand daughter.I love her so much that I would face death if any thing should happen to her.
For Grand Pa's a grand daughter or son are like the most beautiful gift on earth.
So please forgive him as he must have had his problems and did not see your love.
That would be great for you too.
