How strange to have you gone...graduations, holidays, special occasions will not be the same. But still, you are in our hearts and thoughts. This past year was difficult for you and us alike, but your strength and courage held us together. Dad, keep us strong as we struggle through our grief. Help us to understand that life is a prelude to happiness everlasting.

When You Were Here
Special things only few will have known
I’ll always have the lingering smell of your cologne
The special memories so many hold dear
Family get-togethers only once a year
We came together on Christmas Eve night
At Grandfather’s house, his smile so bright
Always, I cherished the look in your eyes
While all the kids shouted “present time”
Never was perfect nor needed to be
You loved me for just being me
All the summer days I spent all alone
Always I knew you were at home
Rarely did I decide to stop by
Far a glass of iced tea or just to say Hi
Wasted time I could have had
To spend with one excellent grand-dad
Now it’s too late as I wipe away a tear
I’d drop by everyday if YOU were only still here
I’ll miss you Grandpa,
as will so many others.
You were very special to everyone,
in your own special ways.
I’ll see you in heaven,
some wonderful day.
