I loved it! I lost my Grandma when I was fifteen and really have not gotten over it every year I cry for her. She left Nov 24th, 1983 on a Thanksgiving Day.

i read this poem and it really got me thinking. Life is a really precious thing and its not worth wasting because one day when you are laying in bed very sick, you will regret not doing everything in your dreams. i should know this because ive lost my father six years ago, and he threw his life away. i was eight years old and i miss him so much.

Karen

I just want to let Amanda know that this is one of the best poems I have read in a long time. I was very close to my grandma also, who has passed away in Sept. 2004 will be 2 years now and I still hurt every day without her. Thanks Amanda for the smile I wear today. from Karen

This poem touched me because I just lost my grandmother May 4,2004. Me and my grandma was very close for the last 14 years. But the only thing difrent was i was there with her when she past away and that was the hardest thing to do. I am glade that there is someone out there that knows my pain.

THIS POEM REALLY GETS TO ME, BECAUSE MY GRANDMOTHER THAT LIVES IN WISCONSIN HAS POLIO, AND IM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY I WON'T BE ABLE TO GO SEE HER AGAIN. I LOVED YOUR POEM. IM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSE, BUT AT LEAST SHE IS IN A HAPPIER PLACE, AND AT LEAST SHE IS FINALLY HOME.

adrienne

the reason i've voted is because i just lost my grandma on sept 8 2003 and she was my very best friend she was my life and also other ppls lives too (my 5 siblings) it was a very good poem and im sure our grandmothers are sitting up in heaven having a blast with no more cancer and dieseases they are probably watching us right now thank you for sharing your beautiful poem because i needed someone my age to express my feelings to and that is the best way!

That was a beautiful poem. My grandmother died about 13 years ago and i still thank about her and sometimes i just start to cry. I love her very much and when she died it's seems that my whole world fell apart. I loved that poem it was beautiful.

brad

Gina

this was a really good peom!Keep up the good work!

Stacy

I really love your poem. I lost my Grandma in October 2000. And when people talk about their Grandma's it still upsets me. And I would think that I would be over it by now, but I'm not. I'm just really glad to finally see that I'm not the only one who feels this way. I never got to say the things that I wanted to tell her, but then that kind of makes me feel more ready to be with her again and to have something to say when I am back together with her again. She's my guardian angel and I lover her!

raegan

I really like this poem and when i read it it touched me and i started to cry. i know how you are feeling because i lost my grandmother in october of 2001. She died similar to how your grandmother passed away and was always sick. but they are both in a better place and we will see them again someday.

Tasha

TY TY TY! I LOOOVE this poem, feel the same way about my grandmother, and its been 3 years, i felt like i was stupid for not getting over it yet, but now you showed me that im not the only one that feels like this, and that it will probaly take a lllooong time for me to get over her being dead, if not never, yes this may seem like something someone wouldnt want to face, but i want to be ready, and being ready for it will help me a lot, i wish i could see her one more time, infact i had a dream of her last night, i had died and went to heaven, and the whole time i was searching, and waiting for her.

Barb

From a grandma -- I'm very moved by this poem. Grandchildren are the most special people in the world. Grandparents finally have the time to appreciate and we lavish that appreciation fully. I, too, am sorry your grandmother can't read this poem. I would love to know that my grandchildren care this deeply it would mean more than anything in my life.

WYNEISHA

Three years ago my grandma died, and when I read your poem my grandma came back to me. Your poem tells alot of true things on how things use to be with grandma's, when they were still alive. I really enjoyed reading your poem, your poem brought back many memories.

thandiwe

I really enjoyed this poem. My grandmother died 3 years ago on Decenber 10. I was at home and my heart just dropped. I didn't really cry until I went to her funeral, because it was then that I finally realized that she was gone forever. I think this poem is inspirational because it makes people think about the people think about the good times they had with the people they love, and lost. I definitely give this poem a thumbs up.

Kortenee

My grandma just died last year. I was camping and I found out. Every day I miss her more and more. But, I know she's looking down at me with a smile. That poem realy touched close to home bcause that is how close me and my grandma were. Thank you for helping me.

cyn

Tammie

This poem is wonderful and reminds me so much of my grandma that I lost to cancer in March, it still makes me sad, but would you send it direct to me, so each time I think of her I can read your poem..thanks!

SHA

I REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR WORDS ARE SAYING. I UNDERSTAND THE PAIN YOU FEEL. I LOST MY GRANDMOTHER AND SHE WAS VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO ME. I MISS HER JUST AS MUCH IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT I'LL BE HERE FOR YOU. BE STRONG!

Tabitha

I know how you're feeling today is april the 29th of 2001 and my grandmother died this morning at 5:00. I can say I truely can relate to your feelings. I just wish this feeling of lonelyness would go away. How do you ever cope with this sort of pain?
