GRANDPA

by SWEETSMILEZ   Sep 16, 2005


AS I WALKED INTO THE ROOM, I TOOK A DEEP BREATH. I PEEKED BEHIND THE CURTAIN AND A TEAR BEGAN TO FALL FROM MY EYE. I QUICKLY WIPED IT AWAY HOPING YOU DIDN'T NOTICE. YOU GLANCED MY WAY AND REACHED OUT YOUR HAND.
AS I KISSED YOUR FOREHEAD ,I ASKED GOD TO PLEASE BE WITH YOU. " I LOVE YOU GRANDPA!" YOU JUST NODDED YOUR HEAD AND SQUEEZED MY HAND.
FOR THAT WAS ALL YOU COULD DO. YOU HAD TUBES EVERYWHERE AND YOU LOOKED SO PALE.
IT HURT ME TO SEE YOU LIKE THIS, BUT I KNEW YOU WERE SUFFERING. THE 2 WEEKS THE DOCTOR GAVE YOU CAME SO FAST. AS THE FAMILY GATHERED AROUND YOUR BED, YOU FOUGHT TO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. YOUR BREATHES GOT DEEPER, AND I COULDN'T HOLD BACK ANY LONGER. THE TEARS BEGAN TO FALL AND AS I STROKED YOUR HAIR, I TALKED TO YOU. I TOLD U THAT I WOULD ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND THAT YOU TAUGHT ME SO MUCH. AND THANKED YOU FOR NEVER JUDGING ME, REGARDLESS OF MY MISTAKES.
"WE'LL MISS YOU GRANDPA." I COULD BARELY TALK, BUT I KNEW THE TIME HAD COME.
AS YOU TOOK YOUR LAST BREATHS I FELT MY HEART BREAKING SLOWLY ACHING. BUT I KNEW YOU WOULD BE WATCHING OVER ME. SO WITH A DEEP BREATH I CLOSED MY EYES AND WATCHED YOU FLOAT UP TO HEAVEN. KNOWING THAT ONE DAY SOON, WED BE TOGETHER AGAIN.
