MY GRANDMOTHER


U KNOW SOMETIMES UR MIND WONDERS AND U REMEMBER SOME OF THE PAST WE SEEM TO TRY AND PUT BEHIND US….SOMETIMES IT’S BECAUSE IT IS TO PAINFUL TO DWELL ON FOR LONGER THEN WE WISH TO….BUT THEN CERTAIN EVENTS THAT HAPPEN OR THAT ARE GONNA HAPPEN BRING UP THOSE MEMORIES REGARDLESS OF HOW PAINFUL OR JOYFUL THEY MAY BE……

ONE OF THE MEMORIES THAT HAS BEEN ON MY MIND LATELY IS MY GRANDMOTHER…I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE HER IN MY LIFE TILL I WAS IN MY TWENTIES AND THEN GOD DECIDED TO CALL HER HOME WITH HIM…..

WITH MY SON GETTING MARRIED IN LESS THEN A MONTH I WILL BE GAINING A DAUGHTER-N-LAW AND I AM SURE IN THE NEAR FUTURE I WILL BE BECOMING A GRANDMOTHER MYSELF…..WELL THIS BROUGHT BACK SOOOO MANY MEMORIES OF MY PRECIOUS GRANDMOTHER…..

LET ME TELL U A LITTLE ABOUT HER…..SHE WAS ONE OF A KIND…..SHE WAS LOVING, GIVING AND NO ONE COULD’VE ASK FOR A BETTER MOTHER OR GRANDMOTHER THEN HER…..SHE DIDN’T HAVE MUCH IN LIFE, BUT WHAT SHE DID HAVE SHE WOULD SHARE WITH ANYONE…..IF SHE HAD A SANDWICH SHE WOULD OFFER IT TO U BEFORE SHE WOULD EAT IT HERSELF, SHE WOULD GIVE U HER LAST DIME IF SHE KNEW U NEEDED IT…….SHE JUST HAD THAT KIND OF LOVING AND GIVING HEART….

I CAN NEVER REMEMBER HER EVER RAISING HER VOICE TO ME, SHE NEVER SAID UNKIND THINGS TO ME, SHE NEVER HURT MY FEELINGS IN ANYWAY….I WISH SHE WAS HERE TO GIVE OUR NEXT GENERATION THE GUIDANCE ON HOW TO TREAT CHILDREN AND SHOW PEOPLE HOW TO BE RESPECTFUL….THE WORLD LOST A BEAUTIFUL SOUL THE DAY SHE LEFTED US……SHE DIDN’T GET TO LEAVE SO SUDDENLY THOUGH, SHE LAID IN A COMA FOR YEARS TRYIN TO FIGHT NOT TO LEAVE THIS WORLD……HER HEART DID NOT WANT TO STOP BEATING AND LEAVE ALL THE LOVE ONES THAT SHE HAD A PART IN BRINGING INTO THIS WORLD. I ALSO THINK THAT GOD KNEW WE JUST NEEDED HER TO STILL BE THERE IN BODY FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER…..

WHEN MY TIME COME TO BE A GRANDMOTHER I HOPE I CAN BE HALF THE WONDERFUL GRANDMOTHER LIKE SHE WAS TO ALL HER MANY GRANDCHILDREN….SHE LOVED US ALL THE SAME AND ALL WHO KNEW HER LOVED HER DEARLY….I TRY NOT TO THINK OF HER MUCH BECAUSE I KNOW THE SADNESS THAT MY HEART FEELS KNOWING SHE IS NO LONGER HERE WITH US, BUT SHE IS ALWAYS IN MY HEART….SHE IS A PART OF EVERYTHING THAT IS SWEET, KIND, GIVING, LOVING INSIDE OF ME……I WAS BLESSED THAT SHE WAS WITH US TO SEE SOME OF HER GREAT GRANDCHILDREN BORN, MY SON BEING ONE OF THEM…..I WISH HE COULD HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO KNOW THIS WONDERFUL WOMEN CALLED GRANDMA…..I HOPE HE CAN SEE HER IN ME AS I LOVE AND CHERISH THE CHILDREN HE BRINGS INTO THIS WORLD…..I WANT THEM TO KNOW WHERE THE LOVING, SHARING, GIVING OF YOURSELF OF THEIR GRANNY COMES FROM…..IT COMES FROM A SOUL OF A WOMAN THAT HELPED MAKE ME WHO I AM TODAY…..SHE ALSO HAD HER SHARE OF HARDSHIPS TO SUFFER THROUGH, BUT SHE HAD THE STRENGTH TO PUSH ON AND SHOW US THE GIFT OF SURVIVING ANYTHING THAT CAME OUR WAY……I COULD WRITE ALL NIGHT ABOUT HER, BUT I WILL END WITH THIS, I KNOW SHE SITTING HERE READING THIS KNOWING HOW MUCH SHE WAS LOVED AND ADORED …SHE BROUGHT MANY MANY BEAUTIFUL LIVES TO THIS WORLD AND WITH THE BIRTH OF MY FIRST GRANDCHILD SHE WILL BE SMILING DOWN FROM HEAVEN AT ADDING ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SOUL TO HER FAMILY….


I LOVED THIS WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, WOMAN THAT WAS CALLED…..MY GRANDMA




Remembering grandma ( a poem for my grandma). In tears we saw you sinking, Our hearts suddening breaking, We wanted you back, But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful, free from pain, How could we wish you back with us, To suffer that again. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home. If Roses grow in Heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me, Place them in my grandma’s arms and tell her they are from me. Tell her I love her and miss her and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her a while. Because remembering her is easy, I do it everyday, But there’s an ache within my heart that will never go away. Don’t think of her as gone away Her journey’s just begun, Life has so many facets This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting From sorrows and tears. In a place of warmth and comfort Where there are no days or years. Think how she must be wishing That we could know, today Now nothing but our sadness Can really pass away. And think of her as living In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost And she loved so very much. love u grandma and i can’t wait to see u again someday, with that beautiful smile on ur face that i miss sooo soooo much…..be watching for my grandchildren and be their angel from above…….kisses to u from down here where u were and still remain in the hearts of all of us…….
