Grandkids (Granny’s Leaves)

Dear Granny,
(I apologize I did not go to the service, I will never say “Good Bye”)

Sunday you left, my heart throbbed in pain.
It was torn when I was told you were gone.
I will cry with the rain, and live the rest of my life suffering.

As my days turn to nights, I will wonder while star gazing “where you are”
My mind will forever be stained while my heart is filled with the love you gave.

Revere the memories, you are one of a kind, the wind that will whistle as it blows threw the trees.
Thanks for the time you gave me.

The memories are all in my mind.
92 years, I am glad I was able to spend 47 with you.

The bad part is, I hate to think life goes on.
The good part is, I know you are finally with Lil B.
I will think about you every day and love you with every beat of my heart.

You made my life worth living for.
Now we have come to the end of our rainbow. I have been reintroduced to sorrow.

But I know for sure I have someone watching over me.
This feeling is so, so, so painful
I am so selfish because I wanted you to be here now, but you are free.

I love you Granny, so long…

Dear Grand momma,
You accepted me and made me feel apart of the family from the very beginning. I spent more time with you and family during
the holidays than my own. Life will never be the same now that you are gone.
I hurt but I know you are ok. I can hear your voice in my mind now, I hear you telling Benny, “I am not Mexican, I am
Black.” I love you even more and I understand what you meant when you said that. I am your family to and I want to say,
“Thank you” I love you back…
You will never be forgotten.
Because of you, my wife gave me
Benson and Theresa kids. You were a force that was
respected and honored. I was

One word that comes to mind when thinking of Grandmama is thoughtfulness. In 6th honored to be welcomed by you
grade I rode my bike to school and as school let out it was pouring rain. Dreading to without hesitation, and I’m
ride my bike home surprisingly Grandmama was in the school parking lot in her yellow blessed to have been able to care
bucket ready to load me and my bike inside. Beyond the check up calls she gave, I'll for you when you fell ill. I will
never forget she made each great grand kid a gift with her hands for Christmas which truly miss our play fights that
was an expression of her....thoughtfulness “you won”.
I love you ~ Keenan II
