Things remembered

by Brittany   Sep 15, 2008


I remember,
I remember that day you left me.
You knew how much I wanted you here with me.
You knew how much I loved you.
You knew how much being your only granddaughter meant to me.
Once I got home, I saw dad and I knew something was wrong.
As dad sat there and smoked two cigars with me walking up, I knew something happened.
That feeling in my guts I had all day became stronger and thats when I realized what happened.
Mom finally came up to me and told me you had passed away this morning.

I dropped to my knees and wanted to scream "why."
You left our lives without a sound,
I never got to say goodbye.
I was too afraid to go up to your bed side but I did give you a kiss before we all left.

Words cant explain the pain I went through seeing you in that casket,
Just laying there painless when we all are suffering
No one can ever experience what Ive gone through without my poppy here.
Ive felt like Ive lost my spirit.
Sometimes I can feel you here with me and that makes me so happy.

Sometimes I am mad at you for leaving me in a time of need.
I was graduating in less than a year and you left without seeing it.
You left before walking me down the aisle with dad.
I fall asleep some nights and see you in my dreams.

Time has gone by and Ive graduated but I know you were there walking me take the diploma.
I know the day I walk down that aisle you will be right next to me just like dad will be.
I know to this day that you didn't want you leave us like that but it was your time to go.
I will always remember everything about you and everything thing you did for the whole family.
I will always miss you and I will always love you.
