Grandfather Death Poem

Next Poem >>

hi my name is Sarah. I am 24 yrs old and I lost my grandad last year to cancer. Growing up I wasn't really as close to my grandad as I was to my Nan but over the last few years I did get really close to him. He only found out he had cancer about 10 weeks before he went and my Nan spent the last 4 weeks of his life looking after him because she wouldn't allow him to go in a hospice as he wouldn't have wanted to. the cancer robbed him of his pride and dignity then eventually his life. H e just seemed to give up when he was fitted with a colostomy bag. He told me the day before he went that he was ready. I believe I am truely blessed to have had him in my family.

Goodbye Granddad

So heaven has received another angel
The night sky another star
Your life has become a loving memory
I know you will never be far.
I know you are watching over me
As my life goes on
I will treasure the memories I have of you
I cant believe your gone.
You were a loving caring grandad
You were there for me a lot
You will always hold a place in my heart
A loving treasured spot.
You were really one in a million
A cut above the rest
All that knew you would agree
You simply were the best.
So grandad I will say goodbye
I love and miss you with all my heart
But as long as I have my loving memories
We will never be too far apart.
written for Billy Harrison died 26th July 2007
goodbye grandad SIMPLY THE BEST.
