My Last Visit

My Grandpa was amazing. I love him. He was so, so kind, and he loved people. He is gone now and gone for good. I will miss him. I was sad the time I realized that he was really sick and didn't know how to help him. He left my grandma lonely, and I'm sure she misses him more than we do because he was part of her and she suffered more after my grandpa's death and she needed all the support she got from us because the love of her life was gone. I am sure he looked over us every day and he will protect us. Miss you and love you! RIP GRANDPA

My grandad passed away May 2014. He was my everything. I loved him so much. He was like my best friend. The stories he shared were amazing. He was a lovely father I have ever known. All he shared was love and kindness to all his children and grandchildren. He was sick for a short time and God took him from us and he left us for good. I didn't even had a chance to say my last goodbyes to him because I was so far away from home. I will always miss you, Grandad, and I love you. May his perfect soul rest in peace, amen.

I'm so glad that the author of this poem has shared this my grandpa is now dying and it is so hard to say goodbye especially when you're not ready. Unfortunately muscular dystrophy has destroyed another family

My grandfather died May 19, 2013 and it's been very hard with out him. He was a wise advice giver and my bestfriend. I read poems to make myself feel better. The inspirational words speak to me although I didn't write it. So, Thanks to the writers you help me get thru my day. Grandpa wouldn't want to me to be sad. Gone but not forgotten RIP Roger Lee Thompson

My dad passed away this year on May 15th at 4:33 and it was so sad but I was glad to be there with him and my mom and sister and brother. We held on to him until the very last minute. It was the most amazing experience of my life to watch him leave us. His heart pounded in his chest and he perspired profusely. Like Goliath fighting a battle, it took everything for him to fight to stay because he didn't want to go, but the lord took him and we watched the very last breath leave him as he looked straight up into the sky. His eyes were so bright green and his skin color came back and all of the terrible bruising from all of his I.V.'s went away. It was miraculous to watch. I will never forget it. This poem reminded me of that moment. I will forever miss my dad. Thank you for this poem.

I lost my pappa on July 28, 2011. He was the best guy ever. Since my other grandpa and grandma don't like my family that well he was the only Grandpa that was there for me, he always lent a helping hand and he never seemed to fail me. He was the best I know he's not hurting anymore, but everyday of every moment I think of him, and everything he'll miss, I miss and love him so much, I love you Pappa.

My last visit to my grandfather was when he was in the hospital. I was crying I just want him to go home. I love him so much. I told his when he home that I was going to take care of him. He was so sad that he couldn't come home. I told him that it is going to be okay.

My grandfather passed away in May also. He just passed away a couple of days ago. He lives half way around the world and I never got to say goodbye when he left. On the day of his funeral, I couldn't help but remember the last time I visited him. He looked so bright and strong, but in just one year he's gone. I can't believe that I will never see him again.

My pop died a year ago. He was really sick and during the time that he was in the hospital it was horrible. He was the only grandparent that I met. I was very close to him. I was only with him for 12 years. I was 12 when he died. I can't believe that it has been a year since he died. I miss him so much. Sometimes it still feels like he is still alive. When I read this poem it reminded me of him because he had blue eyes and when he died he looked so alone and so sad. It also reminded me of him because I felt so alone when he died. I love you and miss you so much Poppie.
