      ~ Memories ~ Emily Jane Elliott

      Isn’t it amazing how beautiful people come and go in this world,

      How they affect your life in so many ways,

      How everything they do was to please you,

      You have always known how much they care.

      Sweet Grandma…

      When I think of her I feel,

      a warn soft hand brushing against my face

      The smell of her I could just close my eyes and almost see her.

      When I hear the rain I hear her whispering to me so softly

      everything will be ok… and it is.

      Her making me laugh when I thought I could never smile.

      Her taking my side over dads always.

      I smell a freshed cooked meal I can’t wait to eat.

      I feel her squeezing me so tight I’d do anything for her not to let me go.

      I think

      she finally got what she wanted

      to be at peace, to feel no pain, to be able to watch over us an guide us to where

      we need or want to be.

      Now

      Instead of us being strong for her, she is being so strong for all of us.

      My sweet sweet Grandma I miss her so much.

      No one could ever live as hard as life as her,

      and still have a smile on their face the next morning.

      My grandma is

      FLYING

      like an angel soaring through the air

      blowing the wind on my face,

      she is beautiful.

      but,

      when the rain stops

      were all stuck wondering what happens next…

      When I say a little prayer in my heart

      I suddenly realize Grandmas here now

      an everything will be alright…

      So Grandma here’s a kiss and a hug from me to you

      now since you died before I did your in heaven

      waiting for me once again.

      I Love You

      Grandma
