I lost my grandpa 3 days ago. He was not only a great grandpa, but he was also like a best friend. Always made me laugh and encouraged me. He truly believed in me. I feel so sad all the time now.. He was only 82, but I miss him so much. I rarely got to see him since my grandparents live in Poland, but I saw him in person about two years ago. He will always be in my heart. Words can't describe how sad I feel. I love you, Grandpa. Till next time.

I lost my Papa on July 27, 2017, due to his heart and co2 levels. It's killing me every day, but I won't be selfish, and I will tell him I love and miss him. Yeah, I wish I had one more day, but I didn't get it. My hero and my best friend you have always been there for me. I know you love me, Papa. Yes, I spent the last of your dying days with you. You seemed happy. You weren't in pain. You had your babies to see. We miss you, Papa. If I could have one more day or one more hour I would tell you I love you so much, and I'll take care of mom. We got this. You be happy and go on home. You are fine. We love you always, your baby girl, your grandchild. Be with me, my little red bird. I love you, Papa.

I lost my grandfather mere hours ago. I was never that close to him due to not really being in touch regularly, and last time I ever saw him was about a year or two ago. But this reduced me to tears. Thank you.

My grandfather just passed away 3 days ago. I never got to tell him I loved him one last time or tell him goodbye. He passed peacefully in his sleep. I just hope this poem helps at the funeral since I'm the oldest grandchild and the only one with his great grandchild I thought it was my calling to say something. Thank you.

My grandpa just passed away four days ago nine days after a stroke left him unable to eat, talk, or use the right side of his body. My grandpa was more like a father to me while growing up then a grandparent and I plan on reading this poem at his celebration of life service. Rest in peace papa I love and miss you very much

This touched my feelings the poem really related to me and my grandfather's relationship. I could see myself and my granddad in this story it was very heart touching.

My grandpa passed away when I was at school and I never took the chance to say my goodbyes and seeing as he played a massive part in my early childhood and it was a shock that he died when I was 14, so I read this poem at his cremation service (edited it a bit), but it brought a tear to everyone's eye and it helped me get my emotions out. Thank you.

I lost my grandpa Dave Feb.15th 2012. I never imagined it would hurt as much as it did. My grandpa was a purple heart veteran and had 3 silver stars. He served in the Vietnam war. My grandpa was a great man who loved his family! My grandpa was more of my father then anything. The last thing he said to me was he loved me. My grandpa will always be my number one man and not a day goes by that I don't think of him. Grandpa Dave I love you with my whole heart! Never fully gonna be gone<3 rest in heaven!!

My Grandfather died on 10/9/12. He had fallen at the age of 82 in his home and was resuscitated by the EMT's on the way to the hospital. He was on life support with no brain activity, so the family decided to let him go. I was at his bedside when he breathed his last breath. It was the most difficult thing I ever had to go through. This poem means a lot to me as did my grandfather. I miss him so much, but I am thankful I had 44 years with my Grandpa. He would of been 83 on 10/20/12, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA, I love You... Thanks for the great poem!

How can I say this, my grandad died 13 years ago never got to see him on the day to let him know I love him dearly and I'd miss him. I went to his funeral but didn't think it was enough for me to say goodbye. Then my other grandad died at his home 3 days before my birthday last year (2011). I went to see him but couldn't let me grieve out with me having two young children. Then I thought I was coping until my Nan died January this year (2012) and it got me bad. I cry in my sleep and have moments when I'm alone I can't put anything on paper how I feel and I can't get the words right when I speak. Missing them so dearly. I read these poems and its speaks out what I feel

My friend Brian just lost him grandfather and he wouldn't stop crying. so I searched a lot of websites but none of them were like this. This touched my heart. I posted it to his wall and he started crying tears of happiness. He showed his dad and uncle and they cried but loved the poem...Thank you

My grandfather had a heart attack and was in the hospital for an entire month. This poem made the world of difference in my life when I was looking through poems regarding having to drop all life support. He made me promise when I was 3 that I would not ever put him into a nursing home, and he even refused to visit his friends in them. Grandpa Roger had a saying: Swing and Sway with Roger k. And my revision: Until we meet again at the golden gate, he swings and sways with the beat of my heart. I love you Grandpa.

This is such a great poem. My grandpa passed away June 2010, just a few days after his 75th birthday. He went into the hospital a day after his birthday party, and didn't get to go home. Two days before he passed away, I got to see him alive for the last time, and before we left, I broke down, in my gut, I knew that it was going to be the last time I was going to be able to see him. Cancer and liver failure took him from me and my family. It was so hard to see before he passed away. He was 15 days away from making it to his 51st wedding anniversary. At my Grandma and Grandpa's 50th anniverary party, my Grandpa said to everyone how he didn't think that he was going to make it to his 51st anniverary, and that he was content with that. He just wanted to make his 50th anniversary and his 75th birthday, then he would be content with life. He made those goals. I just turned 16, and without my grandpa, it is so hard. I love and miss you Grandpa. <3 Thank you Lauren for the poem.

My grandpa died in September of 09 and I am Native American so in my culture its a big thing, and he was such a huge part of my life. He was there since the day I was born and when I felt his hand as he died they were cold. and I cried and cried for hours and hours. He took such a big part in my life I wanted to die that day he died. I was devastated my mom and the rest of my family were too. but this poem really touched my heart. Rest in peace grandpa and when I see you in heaven I will say "hawaka memutemawa" (hello, how are you) in the kumeyaay language rezz life you know <33!!!

My grandpa passed away yesterday. I can not believe it happened. I loved him so much, I still can not believe. I cried for over 3 hours. He had been in the hospital for about 3 weeks and then they sent him to hospice, which they told me was a rehabilitation place, not somewhere they sent people who were dying so I thought he was getting better and coming home soon. Then they came home from visiting him with tears in there eyes and now he's gone.

your poem was beautiful my pop just recently passed away and me and him were really close. He has dementia and I helped my mum look after him and then he got too much for my mum to look after on her own, so we had to put him in a nursing home, which was the hardest thing we ever had to do, then he passed away from kidney failure three months later.

This poem was very inspirational to my daughter while she was grieving the death of her grandfather. She shared the same love for her grandfather as you shared with yours.
Thanks Lauren
