I woke up today to the worst news: You were gone from
this life, I didnt get to say goodbye.
I cried for hours this morning Grandma, thinking of you,
I should have come over like I said I was going to, but
things just got to hectic.
Its no excuse I see that now. I'll miss your
warm soft hugs, all thats left is the Book of God you gave me,
and those memories of us drinking our home made
mint tea, picked from your garden.
Life for me is never going to be the same, God has you now,
until the day when I can run up to you and kiss your
cheek, I'll always remeber us.
Grandma I miss you so much, I wish I could have
said goodbye, hugged you one last time,
I wish most of all, you'll forgive me for that.
Give God a hug for me, tell Jesus I'll see him soon.
And Grandma, I'll always talk to you, even if you aren't here.
You'll be in my heart and in my dreams...
I love you, I always have, always will.

I woke up this morning to finding out my dearest friend had died, the funeral is tomorrow and Im a wreck, I didnt get to say goodbye, I even made up an excuse the other night so I could go to the fair with my friends, so I didnt see her before she died...
Im a horrible person and I miss her so much already.

That was amazing. In fact it makes me think of how my friends must have felt when her Granddad died in the middle of the night a month ago from cancer. The weekend before his death she was meant to visit, but her Grandma said she could come to a concert with me instead. Amazing, have I already said that? Ah well

WOW!!! Thats so sad...tht actually reminds me of when my grandmother died a year ago...U shouldn't think of urself as a bad person....she forgives u either way I'm sure but ur not a bad person..u just a choice and u chose the one u did and she understands...this is really good though i loved it.

Such a beautiful tribute.
Full of so much good emotion. Sadness comes through in the words but also all the love you have for your grandmother. Very well done. Thank you for sharing
