That poem was very touching. I was only 12 when my Nana died. But she died on the 27 of December 2009, which made it hard as she had a heart attack on Christmas . I now understand more about her dying. I think I didn't want to understand as she was like a mother too me and I was a mess for about 3 months after she died. She was the one who I looked up to and then in the blink of an eye she was taken.

But Thank you for helping me understand, very helpful.

My gramma (nanny ma) was a huge part of my life, growing up I was at their house as much as my own. Later years I was her caregiver along with another amazing woman. She passed away Aug.28, 2010 at 88 at home with me holding her hand on one side my mom on the other side my son and her friend/caregiver in the room also. I can't tell you how full circle that was and how my heart broke so hard inside. She was an amazing lady. I love you Gramma!

I lost my Nan on the 11th of august 2010, and things have been so hard, reading this made me realize, I shouldn't be crying, I should be happy for that she lived. my Nan meant everything to me, she was a Nan to me, but also a bestfriend, all those memories we shared shall never ever be forgotten xxx

This is a beautiful poem. I lost my nanny to cancer this year, she was the world to me!. she was practically my mum. Even though she is gone and the farm, where most of my memories are, I now know that the memories will never be sold. I know she is with my poppy who also died of cancer (1993). I feel alone and lost but I know she is there watching after me and will always be beside me.
My only wish is to speak to her again, until that day you're my angel.

I like the poem. it reminds me of my nanay (Grandma). I came from a broken family, she's the one who's taking care of me since I was 1 year old. It was on September 18, 2007 when she died. It took me a year before I realized that she's gone forever.

I miss my nonny (grandma) so much! I'm almost 12 and Christmas is today. I read a few poems, they made me cry, but this one touched me in a encouraged way.
Thank you for putting this up
