Something to Remember Me By

Tonight as I get ready for bed, my mind wanders in time, to a place that I haven't been in a while.  I am not sure why I am here, but I am.  Maybe its because we had "Grits for Grandparents" today at school, but I started thinking about my dear and precious Nanny that past away about 5 years ago.  I am not sure if it is because Patrick is going to be six in a few weeks, or if its the fact that Nathan is growing so fast, but I started thinking about how much I wish they knew her.  Even though I can tell them stories about her life and what an inspiration she was to me, I wish they had the opportunity to feel her hugs, see her smile and even hear her laugh.  I was thinking about how when I was in college, I would see her most everyday and how wonderful it felt to have her right beside me.  We had a lot of fun during those 2 and a half years.  Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if she was still here.  She was always there for me in so many loving ways, and I miss her so much!

 

I was laying on my bed today,

and thought something funny you used to say.

I started to giggle out loud, when I felt a tear,

cause that's when my heart starting wishing you were here.

I thought about all the good times we shared,

loving and laughing, just showing we cared.

I could picture you sitting in your favorite chair,

I remembered how the sun would shine through your hair.

As you sat at the window watching the birds fly by,

It was always fun to sit there by your side.

I started to think what it would be like now,

If I only I could hug you once more some how.

I wanted to tell you of all the great things in my life,

how I'm a great daughter, mother and wife.

I loved you so much, I wonder if you knew,

that I was amazed  and inspired by you.

My thoughts kept wondering about how my life would be

if you hadn't left and were still here with me.

I know I can't go bring you back from the world above,

but until we meet again I'll remember you with love!
