I wrote this poem five years after my grandfather died. It describes my memories, my pain, and my acceptance of him and his death. The poem has extreme sentimental value to me and I hope that it helps someone else cope with the loss of a loved one.
Dedicated to my Grandpa Tudsie who passed away November 1, 1993. I loved him very, very much and this poem expresses my feelings towards him.

This is a very powerful poem that really touched mine and my childrens hearts. See they just lost their grandfather yesterday 5/17/'06 and just last month we lost my brother 4/11/'06. It has been so hard here. This poem really touched my heart as that is the kind of man that my dad was, and know that he is as he lives in our hearts. He helped in raising my son now 15 and daughter 12 while husband and I worked. He gave so much and didn't want anything in return. This poem really fit for yesterday when we lost him. Although some is changed for here as my son and daughter are younger. He passed away in the hospital. He was 83. I know that his time was up and the our Heavenly Father called him home, but it doesn't make it any easier. I also like the poem that you might also like is the broken chain. Thankyou to the author here for putting your poem on here for others to find comfort in their loss of their loved ones, grandparents. This is truely a special poem that deserves a very high rating. thankyou. gayle m.

This story touched in a way that is so unexsplaineable. This poem is so true because the same thing happened to me when I was in school and I felt the same way. I will keep this memory with me forever!

your poem really touched me, because not over a week ago i lost my grandpa. i really miss him and wish i could have spent more time with him. and seeing him laying cold and stiff in that casket broke my heart he did not look like the grandpa i once knew and his skin felt like rubber. but i know hes waiting for me above.

This poem touched me due to the fact that I lost my grandfather at the age of 9. And here I am 20 and just now coming to the point that I can let go.

I just recently lost my grandpa 5 days ago. He went through a lot and I am taking it hard. I was kind of closer to him than to my grandma. He's my great-grandpa. I am trying to get through it. But it's hard especially with the holidays right around the corner. Thanks!

I also lost my papa when I was 13. I too was pulled from class and confronted with my crying mother. Beacause of this, the poem really touched me. It will soon be 12 years since my papa's death, but the pain is still fresh in my mind and heart. He guided me through so much, and I miss that. He was there for each new stage in my life. He took me to my first day at school, taught me to count etc. And now that another new chapter has opened up in my life (I'm getting married), I feel sad that he won't be there too. This poem makes me realise that others have suffered exactly the same situation as me, and that's comforting in a way, because it shows that people can go on.
