Grandma

I thought of you today and yesterday but that's nothing new and days before that too.
There are times when I close my eyes and I remember all the memories of you in my mind.
Sometimes it feels like you're still here.
Until I open my eyes and realize you're really not.
My heart gets heavy, and tears tend to appear.
I remember that call early in the morning saying you had passed and suddenly it felt like the world had stopped turning.
I watched you during the last days.
I was with you as much as I could.
At times I wish I had stayed with you a little longer, held your hand a little tighter but there's not a day that goes by I don't think about you and all the things we used to do.
You may not be here anymore, but the memories are forever in my heart.
What I'd give for one more day to be with you and tell you how much I love you.
