Grandpa....

You waited so long to see your great-great grandson
You asked me every day, "you had that baby yet?"
I would tell you no
Then the day came
March 23, 2004
I went to the doctor and they told me that William was in fedal stress and they were losing his heart beat
They sent me to the hospital
Enduced my labor
They told me that William had a 50% chance of living
I called you and told you that today was the day
You were so happy and wanted to be there
But you couldn't
You were home bound not to leave the house
15 hours later I had William,
There was a light that night
One that shined brighter then the rest
It was the good Lord above
He called you home that morning
It was 3am
I didnt find out till the next day
I was so excited to have this baby in my arms
He was so beautiful
So precious
So much like you
Sue came in my hospital room cryin
I asked her what was wrong
She told me that this was Williams day and she would tell me later
But I made her tell me what was wrong
She then told me that you had passed away
One minute before I had William
I lost it
You waited so long to see him
I know that was your way of being in the room
To see this precious little boy
The baby you waited so long to see
I knew the light was bright that night
So here is my thanks to you
For being there for me that night
I love you grandpa
You will always live on
Your memory will never die.
