Missing Grandma

"The loss of a grandmother is a reminder that life is fleeting. But it is also a reminder that love is eternal." ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez Dear grandma, you were so wise, We miss your smile, your kind eyes, You're gone and we're left to grieve, We loved you. Why did you leave? Singing songs in a voice loud, Clapping hands, of you we're proud, Sharing the Gospel, so bold, Wrinkles lined your soft face old; Who'll give us pocket money? Life without you isn't sunny, Twenty years gone, miss you still, Your empty place, none can fill.

Hey Joanna! A sensitive and loving poem. It was almost like a song. MyMom had a heart attack in bed. I called for help and jumped on the bed and started CPR. I was watching a movie the night before that was on CPR, the fireman told me sge would have died had I not done that.People wait for the EMT’s. And the patient expires! My Mom died later at 81. Precious memories, we have, eh? Pangiexxxxx

Yes, those we love and hold dear are remembered and missed from the minute they are gone, and the absence is felt stronger each day. Thanks for sharing this touching one with us. Sara K

A very touching elegy for the grandpa with minute issues such as: "Who'll give us pocket money?"- Beautiful. Congratulations!

Congratulations on your win. Your "Missing Grandma" is a lovely write. One passed before I was born. The other one when I was very young. You were very blessed... Have a wonderful day writing away................
