It’s funny how some memories are forever etched into your mind, Yet others which you so desperately want to remember just won’t come
I can’t remember the trips to the parks or the holidays we once had But I clearly hear your voice shouting “have you eaten dear?” “there’s biscuits over there”
I don’t remember our long walks but can see you running over the bridge as you didn’t like the traffic underneath, It’s the quickest I’ve ever seen you move and for once you certainly weren’t moaning of your feet!
Cups of tea half drunk Glasses lost….mainly left upon your head Tins of biscuits, bags of chocolates, boiled sweets Making sure we’d all been fed
Photos, knicknacks, ornaments All on the fireplace Collecting dust and piled high But should one get moved out of place you’d know in the blink of an eye
Curtains twitching People watching Nattering and listening The world goes by but you never missed a thing
Making friends wherever you went Talking till our ears were spent
Colourful Cardi’s, socks and slippers Lost bags, keys and tv controllers Turn it up now turn it down Thanks for coming here’s a pound
All these things are what made you you we love and miss you

Lots of hugs and thoughts from me to you Lovely poem too.
I know this pain all to much. My family and I just celebrated the 1 year anniversary crossing over of my grandfather. Your piece really touched me.
This poem made me think about my granddad (mum’s dad) a lot – I got a bit emotional! Lovely words, I’m sure she’d have thought so too.
Thanks Emily x

I am sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful post and a great way to pay tribute to your Nan. She sounds like a lovely lady, cherishing the beautiful moments you spent with her is amazing.
What a beautiful tribute to your nan. She sounds like an amazing woman. I’m sorry for your loss.
This is such a beautiful post. I lost my grandfather in January and with today being his birthday and having just gotten back from the cemetery to visit him, this has struck a chord with me. I’m so sorry for your lost, but cherishing these beautiful memories with your lovely nan are things you’ll remember forever. <3 You're the one who will keep her memory alive and strong with the next generation.
I’m sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like you have so many great memories to hold on to and your nan sounds like a lovely lady indeed.
