Grandma Rachel

You were there to listen to me bicker.

You helped me solve my problems that no one could understand just you.

You lended me your shoulder but only to cry on.

You took me under your wings and protected me from harms way.

Now you're gone and I truly miss having you around.

But now I have to forget about the pain I feel, wipe away the sadness that shows 
upon my face and look forward to the unexplained unplanned future that sits in 
front of me like an open book.

Some days I wish you were still here to guide me around these sharp corners 
and up these steep hills that are placed in my life.

But I will always remember you because you are my angel in my heart protecting 
me from the evil that tries to enter.

Sometime in the future though I see us back together again laughing, talking and 
catching up on each other's lives.
