this poem really has touched me. i lost my grandfathers 2 weeks apart about 4 months ago and nothing has been the same, being that i am only 15 this has become a big struggle for me. thanks for making me understand that i can survive this.

I really liked yur poem. I was just looking up poems on death to get an idea of how to wrie a poem and express my feeling towards my grandfather who died on saturday september 27, 2003 and i came across yours. Also it's the first time that someone so close to my family died it is very hard to coup with this. my condolence goes out to you and your family.

Even though this poem was written by you for your grandfather, it is exactly how I have felt since last Sept. 19th when I lost my Father to cancer. I looked to the computer for poetry that I could use for the remembrance I am to have printed in our local newspaper on the anniversary of his death. When I read this poem I knew it was the one. I am not good at expressing my feelings through words, but you did a wonderful job explaining mine and my Father's relationship. I am deeply touched by your work! Thank you so much for your help!

I really enjoy it. It makes me cry, I lost my grandma last year and then grandpa this year and it really breaks my heart to know that they are gone. I really miss them a lot.

i really loved this poem. i lost my paw-paw June13,2001 just a couple of years ago . that was the hardest thing that i have ever had to go through. i've lost many other people in my life but no body compared to my paw-paw . i know exactly how you feel . and i was only 16, and i just graduated and that was hard enough to not see him face to face there. and i'm his first g-child. but thank you for this poem its very good and made me feel better. God bless ! and no matter what just remember that he is still here with you even though you cant see him and dont be afraid to talk to him . hang in there !

Melisa I understand how you feel when loosing your grandad. I lost my grandad juts three days before the war broke out in my country and we didn't have time to grieve which always hurt me. I dream him very often and it is very hard but by the time you will get over the pain. I like your poem very much.

Melissa, I think your poem is really beautiful. We laid my Pawpaw to rest 2 weeks ago today. Like you I have never had anything like this happen to me before. Thank you, your poem made me feel a whole lot better!

Melissa

It has now been 6 years since the death of my PawPaw, i have learned to cope but even though its been so long, there are times that i can't hold back the tears. thank you all for taking time to read this and i am glad it has some meaning to you too. Love always, Melissa (the author).
