So my grandmother passed away about 2 and a half months ago.It wasn't really unexpected, but I still feel that great loss even now.
See, she was only 72, and to me that's still young. She had a heart of gold, and I miss her every day.
I always felt that through everything, she kept my best interests at heart. She was there for a lot of my life. And always shared stories with me.
We were alike in a way. We got upset when there was yelling around. We wrote our feelings down because that's how we could communicate best. Through writing.
I wanted to share this picture. It's of me and my grandmother when I was just a little baby. It shows her caring side, and a time when she was healthier.
I just want to say that to me, she'll be "Never Gone". As in, always in my heart until we meet again down the road.
If you ever get a chance, listen to the song "Never Gone" by the Backstreet Boys. The lyrics of this song describe my grandmother to a tee. I think of her every time when I listen to it. Which is probably why I end up with a tear stained face by the end of the song.
Miss you and love you Granmom!
My Grandma was my world. She raised me until I was 5 and my dad got remarried. I spent every summer and school break with her after that. She too dies at 72 of a heart attack. A total shock because she was in good health otherwise. That was was 15 years ago and I still miss her terribly. She never got to see me move off to college, start my career, get married, and now have kids of my own. Several of my friends still have grandparents living into their 90's and it seems so unfair, but that's life I guess.
ReplyDeleteI'm John by the way... just found your blog and this post stirred some emotions for me.
Welcome John, And sorry to hear about your Grandmother as well.
ReplyDeleteI still miss mine every day. She was the last living grandparent I had for over 10 years so was able to build a strong relationship with her grandkids like myself.
I always imagined that when I would get married that she would be at my wedding dancing the night away. But I'll have to hold her memory in my heart for whenever a wedding may happen.
