I wrote this for my grandmother who passed away this weekend

The doctors said it was your heart, that it was weak
But they couldn't have been more wrong.
It was anything but: caring, loving, sincere, compassionate, meek;
Characteristics that showed your heart was indeed very strong.

Anyone who's met you has had his or her life impacted,
And for me there is a joy I hold dearer than any other;
For this kind, sweet, and generous soul is in fact
The person I take pride in calling my grandmother.

I remember when I found out, I was angry I wasn't there.
Like a photo album, fond memories flashed before me at random.
It was sad to think of the times that will cease to be; it's not fair,
But then my spirits rose, for in my mind, I will still have them.

You see, Gramma, you will always be with me,
Maybe not in body, but in spirit we're still together,
The times we made Christmas cookies, and trimmed the tree,
And when you cared for me, while I was feeling under the weather.

I know you hear me Gramma, and that you're watching now.
I can see your glowing smile, hear your symphonic laughter;
So please consider this an invitation to hear my wedding vow;
Because I'm still planning on your attendance come September.

Love always,
Corey

that's sweet.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

it made me think of my grand mother who has a weak heart, then one of my so called friends who just said that everyone hates me and that i should die and rot in hell.
