My Grandmother passed away November 2, 30 minutes before I reached the hospital for her final breath. My Grandma meant the world to me. Dedicated to Flossie Alice McMillan 3/04/1906-11/02/2008 From your Granddaughter Jody Mark

Future Feelings About Grandma

Its only been a few minutes but seems like an eternity to me.
I miss my Grandma Flossie already and I wish she had stayed here with me.

Its only been a few hours but a million tears I have shed.
I long to hear her voice say my name and hold my hand as she always had.

Its only been a few days but my heart aches so bad.
I know she would say ...Please don't be so sad.

Its only been a few weeks but I still sit and wonder
if she knew I was there and how much I really cared.

Its only been a few months but I still wonder why?
Why Grandma didn't you wait for me to say I love you and Goodbye?

Its only been a few years but I still smile and sometimes cry
when I think about the 36 years Grandma McMillan and I shared.

  • My Grandmother passed away 3 and a half years ago. The night she died I called and spoke to my Grandfather because my Grandma was sleeping. I told him I was just calling to say hi and jokingly said just wanted to make sure you were both alive. 3 hours later my Grandfather called me and told me My Grandma had just passed away. I'm a writer... and your poem hit so close to home. Today would have been her 60th birthday. I can't stop crying even as I write this. I just wanted you to know that the poem is beautiful and I'm sure your Grandmother would have loved it.

  • My grandmother passed the day after Easter, which was also my mothers 50th birthday. She was ill but getting better & I saw her a week before she had passed and she was happy and in good health, it seemed. the very last thing I said to her was I love you grandma, she said it back. Every year when I was little I used to help her make potato salad for Easter, and for the past few years I've been making it for my family since we moved away. I never made it right until this year it tasted just like hers, I just never got to tell her. Your poem is wonderful and really touched my heart. Thank you.

  • What a WONDERFUL poem, this poem has truely touched me, GOD bless you. My Grandmother passed away on Thursday night 6/28/12. I really miss her; she helped to take care of me when I was born 43 years ago and for the past 18 years I've had the privilege to help my mom take care of her; even up until her final breath, I was there. She was a wonderful lady with great wisdom. She was 99 years of age. I know she is in Heaven Shouting and Praising GOD!!! No more pain and no more suffering.

  • My grandmother passed away on July 28th, 2012 on my couch. It was just 11 days after her birthday. I went to bed the night before not knowing that the next morning would be the hardest day of my life to find her dead on my couch. This poem hit me hard. I love and miss you grandma.
