Poem For You.

Ashlie Apr 23, 2009

Its been a year since you went away.
We miss you more with each passing day.
It hurts so much to not see your face,
But it heals to know, your in a better place.

You were always the one, to hold us all together,
Now that your no longer here, seems its always bad weather.
If only I could talk to you, I would have so much to say.
About how I wish you were there, on my graduation day.

I know you were there in sprit, filled with joy and pride.
I felt you and Uncle Tim, standing right at my side.
Mom has not been dealing well, with all that she’s been through,
I try so hard to make it better, seems there is not much I can do.

Tanner is getting oh so big, you should see him run,
Watching him grow and learn, has been so much fun.
Until the day I see you again, you will forever be in my heart,
I will love you unconditionally, while we are apart.

I love you Grandma, and miss you so much!!
- Ashlie
