Rip

I thought you were immortal, a childish fantasy, But when god took you to heaven, he also took a part of me. You watched me grow up, I watched you grow old, i loved being at your house, and listening to the stories that you told. You were a wise woman, someone non-judgmental and sweet, until some one called you granny, then someone was going to get their butt beat! I miss our long talks, staying up late into the night, all the "unwanted" advice, was somehow always right. I know you are proud of me, but i wish i had listened more, you tried to help me so much, and now my heart is sore. I wish I could have been there, to spend a little more time with you, But i love you grandma, and i know you love me too. I thought you were immortal, a childish fantasy, But even though god took you to heaven, I know somehow, your still here with me.
