Love for a Grandpa

    I miss you more than anything even though I was a little girl and I didn't understand. I didn't understand what a goodbye was. I didn’t know I would never see you again.
    I will always remember you and you will be forever in my heart. I will never forget when you played with me, you colored with me. How happy we looked. I miss when my mom and I would go to the train station. Just waiting to hug you and play.
    I knew it would happen but I never thought it would come so fast. One day I hope to see you again. I miss seeing you light up my mom's face. Seeing her so happy made me feel happy how you smiled. I remember looking out the window seeing you outside. I felt happy and warm.
    I remember going to the hospital seeing you on the bed. It hurt me and my mom. I could see it in her eyes. But it crushed her when the doctors pulled me and her out of the room.We couldn't say goodbye.
That was the last last time I saw you. The last time I would hug you and the last time I saw my mom smile so bright.
    Grandpa I miss you and now I understand. I wish I could hug you. I wish I could play with you one last time. Grandpa you will forever be in my heart.
