  I love this poem. You did a very good job. I lost my grandmother a year ago. I keep thinking back when i went to the DRs. and found out that i was going to have a baby girl. I could'nt wait to tell my grandmother about it. I think back 3 weeks after i told her. I woke up one night crying and my husban asked me what was wrong. (I said im going to lose my grandmother)He said no she going to see haylee after she is born. I was 4mos and i got a cal and my uncle told me the cancer came back and she was;nt going to make it. She pass away 3days later. I heared someone say one time you make life and you lose life. Thats how it is Thank you your poem made me feel better

  I just wanted to say that it was a very good poem and it made me cry for hours. I lost my grandmother on nov. 19,2005. I know what your going through. Christmas it was really hard and so was thanksgiving. I was really close to her and i hated that she had to go, but I still think about her every day. I would never be able to sing at her funeral with out crying. I'm still crying right now as i write this. Well Bye

JUST CALLED AND TELL HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 55 YRS.
• Leonard
  I just wanted to let this poet know that this was a really interesting poem and I can feel where you're coming from because I just lost my grandmother a couple of months ago and I'm still in shock and disbelief because I never expected her to die so soon,but when I received that phone call from my mother I knew that it couldn't be true, but when I arrived at the hospital I then had to believe it. So i know what you're going through and I feel your pain. ~*R. I. P Grandma "D"~*

  My papaw had just died Augut 10, 2004. He was my leagle gardian with my mamaw and he was my dad for almost all my life. My mom has a metal illness, I don't know what it's called, but me and my two baby sisters can't see her any more. So my aunt is taking care of the little, little sister while my mamaw and papaw took care of me and my other little sister. I really wish he could come back to help us because I have a disease called lupis and it causes me airthritis and gives me the butterfly rash. Now we only have a 3rd of the money we have had before. So that's why I need him physicaly and emotionaly.

  I can abosolutly feel your pain. I lost my grandmother on September 4, 2003. It was such a shock. You should listen to "Angel" and "I Pray" by Amanda Perez because they will help soothe your hurt and pain.

  This poem, is very touching. It seems like it was yesterday when i got my phone call about my grandmother. Her death was also shocking, we were not expecting her to die, we gave a vacation of appreciation, she was alive for all the festivities and thank yous, but died a week later. This poem gave me a peace of mind. Thank you Healing Heart

  Hello,Your poem was practically the same thing I did for my grandpa for when my grandma died December 9th,2002. I cried and cried she was so close to me and I had moved away when I was in 6th grade and I saw her over the summers but I never really got to say bye to her,I was in a great deal of pain and I think your poem was touching and helped me a little bit about accepting my grandmothers death Thank you
• katie
  your poem was very touching. it brought back this pain that is still so new in my heart. my grandma passed away on oct. 28, 2002. i miss her greatly. at times it seems as if she's still with us but other times reality checks in. i know she's in a much better place & im comforted by that. god bless her
• Mich

• jami
  i thought your poem was really great. i lost my grandfather about 5 years ago and i know how you must have felt. it makes you think about the importance of life even more. god bless you.
• Erin
  This poem says so much! It's wonderful! I know exactly how you feel. My Pepere (Grandpa) died last year on May 17, 2001. It has been extremely hard on me and I can relate to your poem very well. We will all see our loved ones again someday, when the time is right. Until that time, they will be watching over us with love. They never left. They are always here, remember that and smile while thinking of all the good times you had together.
• nicole
  I love this poem. It reminds me of how i felt when i had to bury my nanna bout 2 year ago. She was the best thing that was in my life and i still wont forget the day my mum phoned to tell me she'd passed away. I never got to say goodbye to her and i know that will haunt me for the rest of my life. This poem is everything i feel towards her.

  I know how it feels to lose a grandmother. I lost my Memere Jly 4th from liver cancer. I miss her very much. I'm still having a hard time with it. But at least she's in a better place now away from the pain and with my dad. This was a very moving poem. You did a great job.

  Grandmas are so very important in our lives. I lost my Grandma in 1992 and still miss her so very much so was the biggest part of my life, she was the best! Your poem is very Beautiful, Great job.
• jessica

• jen
  i think your poem was great I lost my Grandma just this March 9,2001. I know how hard it is to loose a g-ma and I felt the way you feel
• kristie
  This poem really touched me, i lost my grandmother a few weeks ago and i am just starting to realise i will never see her again and this poem helped me realise to remember her forever, and i will see her again. one day
• victoria
  i love this poem . you did a great job on this it.
• Stacy
  That is a beautiful and moving poem full of love and thought. My grandparents have always been mamaw and papaw to me and that is what my two young children refer to my parents as. It is very rare that you come across poems that refer to grand parents as mamaw and papaw. I was extremely touched by this and could easily see this being my family if anything should happen to my mamaw or my mom
• leeanne
  very nice poem, I know how you feel. my Grandmother and mother both died about 2 years ago(diferent month.5 months apart) At my grandmother's furneal I wrote a poem for her and the Reveran read it. it was very hard on me as I was the only grandaughter and it seemed as she knew it was comming.
• kelly
  this is such a touching poem for i lost my granpa and this brought back all the hurt i felt
• Dale
  very nice and sad as i can remember my gramma died on thanksgiving night it was hard to deal with and when somebody else looses a special person i feel very sorry that they had a loss i couldn't stop crying not even now i think she went happily that night. ;,(
• Stacey
  it's a great poem
• melissa
  A grandmother of all people would be the hardest person of all to loose because they are the ones you cherish forever in heart and in mind.Never forget that.
