Poem
Those we love don't go away
They walk beside us everyday
And, I wish you knew her 
When You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown was running
I wish you would’ve seen her that night
Beaming with pride
At her grandchild who had been cast in the role
Of Snoopy as a freshman.
I wish you knew her
When she’d dress all up in her Packers gear on a Sunday
Even when they were having a ty season
And were probably going to lose for the third week in a row.
I wish you knew her 
When she’d walk into church in the winter
Wearing the same black coat with the fluffy hood
Looking as extravagant as always.
I wish you knew her
When she embarrassed me at family dinner
After learning that I had sex ed for the first time
And screaming “Scrotum” across the house.
I wish you knew her 
When she’d sit with me for hours
Doing handwriting workbooks, unknowingly
Instating my love for writing from the start.
I wish you knew her
When she’d carry out those little Kool Aid bottles
With the child proof tops
Cheering that none of us had fallen off our bikes.
I wish you knew her
When she’d make her famous red cake
Waiting for the moment when my mom’s face lit up
Even though she expected the cake every year.
I wish you knew her
When she’d call my mom up on a Saturday morning
Decide we are going out to lunch
And then take us shopping.
I wish you knew her
At back to school clothes shopping
When she’d look at us in awe while we paraded around
Showing off the matching outfits she’d picked for us.
I wish you knew her
Before her cancer
Before she lost her energy
And before we lost her forever.
I wish you knew her
Before we got that call with her diagnosis
So that you could’ve been by my side
While I watched her slowly waste away.
I wish you knew her
And I wish she knew you
I know she would’ve loved you
Just as much as I do.
I wish you knew her
In her happy, energetic days
Before her cancer took over
And took her away.
I wish you knew her
And loved her like your own
So you could’ve seen her
For the hero I’ve always known.

I love you, Grandma.
