I miss you already.
I am glad I got to say goodbye to you; you smiled at me through tired eyes which still sparkled as brightly as always. I said I would see you tomorrow and I kissed you on the head and as you smiled back I knew you wanted to say that you wouldn't. I did see you again Grandma. I hope you heard me by your bedside comforting Grandad as we watched you sleep and slip away from us. This all happened far too fast and none of us were ready for you to leave so soon.
I have never wanted to imagine how this would feel. It hurts. It hurts to wake up and realise that I won't see you anymore. It hurts to see Grandad so sad and lost without you. It hurts to see Mum so heartbroken. I will try my best to look after them for you. Your house feels different and the world does not seem the same, but it will go on.
Thank you for being such a lovely, gentle, kindhearted woman; always laughing. You were still telling Grandad off for getting your age wrong right til your last day. I hope you are at peace. You did not deserve this.
We miss you.
Grandma. Passed away 18th October 2015.
