Awwwwww. I'm trying to keep my chin steady. It wants to turn into an oatmeal cookie and go crumbling.
My daddy, who drank himself to death when I was ten. He was the sweetest, funnest guy ever. I know he's waiting for me in Heaven. I'm saving the first dance for him.
And my step-dad, who died last year. The second dance is for him.
My Granny. She passed away on May 29th of this year. She was and still is my heroine of all time. A woman who lived her dreams of love, laughter, and the true meaning of life. She held 7 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren in her gentle arms before leaving this Earth. We hold her forever in our hearts.
I wouldn't want to forget anyone who has left a positive impact on my life. The question I often think about is whether or not I've made a positive impact on someone else's life.
I don't want to forget all the special moments in my relationship with God. Sometimes, I'm so afraid I will forget them. I try to write them all down, but I don't/haven't always.
I am so sorry for your pain and loss. I too know that kind of hurt. I hope time helps you heal.
In January. I lost two people who left me within days of each other. My Auntie Lynne for whom I was named after and our son Tyler who was only 28 years old. Tyler had another mom who left him when he was six. I took her place several years later and I loved him with all my heart. I miss his smile and his laugh. Each day that passes brings a tiny sliver of acceptance but there are moments...
I don't want to forget my grandfather. He died almost two years ago on New years day. He shot himself. Everyday I feel like i'm forgetting more and more about him. And not only that. but, I'm scared that one day I'm going to get a call saying my grandmother is dead too.
My husband died last year, Dec 13th, just one month after being diagnosed with cancer. Every day I tell him that I love him and miss him, and every night I lie awake in bed, wishing he was still beside me. A piece of me died with him that day--I will never again be the person I was before his death.
This is making me cry. I don't want to forget my grandpa. He died when I was thirteen.
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather. He died a couple years ago, and Christmas has never been the same since.
ReplyDeleteMy kids called him Hopper. I knew him as Dad.
ReplyDeleteSending love,
Wendy
My dad, too. He passed away in 1999.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom and Dad. It's been twenty-five years and I miss them still.
ReplyDeleteMy brother-in-law. He died five years ago and was the glue to our family.
ReplyDeleteMy grandpa. He died just before I got married and wasn't there to see it. I have great memories of him, though!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww. I'm trying to keep my chin steady. It wants to turn into an oatmeal cookie and go crumbling.

I don't ever want to forget my grandmothers. They are a part of who I am.
ReplyDeleteSending prayers for your healing.

My mom died at age 57. Very sad when I want to call and tell her some news of the day....
ReplyDeleteI think of my grandparents. OFTEN. I don't want to forget either.

I never, ever will forget my Mom and my late husband. These two Christian, loving people were two of the greatest blessings in my life.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how long your loved ones are gone, the grieving never ends.
I don't want to forget all the special moments in my relationship with God. Sometimes, I'm so afraid I will forget them. I try to write them all down, but I don't/haven't always.
ReplyDeleteI love these tender words, and that amazing picture.
ReplyDeleteFor me it's my Aunt Bea, the first person I knew for sure loved me.
My best friend. He died when we were 16 in a car accident. I now use his name, Scott, as part of my pen name.
ReplyDeleteThus, Duane Scott.
