i need you...

before i'm too old
to have and to hold
to walk with you and watch you grow
and know that you're blessed.

today,
we laid to rest my sweet grandma.
the services couldn't have been more wonderful
and my family was touched by the many people
who came to show their respects to a lady we all loved.
i miss you already, grandma. love you much!
"we tried... we learned... we loved...
and now we have to let go...
but we don't ever have to say
goodbye to the good times.
we don't have to let go of the memories,
the things we learned from each other,
the strengths we gained,
or so many of the other positives we shared.
and i know i'll never let go
of the special place
in my heart that will
always be yours.
maybe we have to say goodbye
to hopes and dreams
that weren't meant to be,
but there's so much that we have
to honor and treasure,
i hope you know i always will."
