Get better please!

I wrote this for my Grandmother (Mamaw), on my fathers side. She has a heart attack last night. I'm going to send this to her later.

I'm sorry I cant be there today.
Like you were always there for me.
From your classic Thanksgiving buffet.
To your famous sweet tea.
----------------------------------------
You have always been there.
You call to ask me if I'm ok.
To tell me not to swear.
To remind me to still pray.
----------------------------------------
To tell me to stop playing football.
You dont want to see me get hurt.
Every moment I can recall.
And even to this day you still send me my favorite desert.
----------------------------------------
You would never let me forget.
Just how much you loved me.
Ive never seen you upset.
All of this without any fee.
----------------------------------------
Love is all you've ever shown.
Like when I was little and wanted to be a marine.
From the first time you noticed I wore cologne.
Hard to believe I'm almost sixteen.
----------------------------------------
But as I grow older.
I realize just how much Ive never seen.
The world becomes colder.
People get mean.
----------------------------------------
But I can still count on you.
To give me that smile.
With all Ive been through.
You make it worthwhile.
----------------------------------------
Hugs I never gave.
All the kisses I ignored.
When I wouldn't behave.
And you read to me about the Lord.
----------------------------------------
I love you so much.
I just cant imagine this would happen to you.
My heart is what you touch.
I really hope you knew.
----------------------------------------
Someone has to tell me to get out of the bath.
So get better soon.
Someone has to lead the path.
I don't want my fingers to prune.
----------------------------------------
You mean the world to me.
So get better please.
What If I skid my knee.
What if I need my hair checked for fleas.
----------------------------------------
I love you more than life itself.
I will come see you soon enough.
I will come and read this myself.
So please Mamaw just be tough....

I love you Mamaw.
