My Story

---

My Granny was a wonderful, kind, and thoughtful woman, who always took time for her grandchildren nothing was a problem she always arrived fully loaded with sweets and treats for all of her many grandkids.

When she died you could visibly see the shock waves travel through our family to have lost such a strong pillar adviser and mediator.

I always wished she would have been given the chance to see my children and passed on some of that infectious love that I had grown up with; cancer is truly a terrible disease and I’m sure it’s victims are picked at random I just wish it had missed my granny for she had so much more to offer to everyone she ever came in contact with.

I’ve set this memorial up so my children can look and put a face to this lady who they’ve heard stories of and who made such an impression in my life.

I’ll always miss you granny.



Billy.



I remember your laughs granny
I remember your smiles
I remember how you took care of me
when I needed a friend
for most of my life
you have been my lifeline
when I was left outside
you let me in again
when the storm roared inside me
you where the calm centre
I was always the loner
but with you it was different
everything seemed so easy to you
and that made me what I am today

Then, as if you knew I would be all right
you gave up the fight
before my eyes I saw you wither away
slowly like a flower when the summer is over
it broke my heart to see you like that
mere bones and skin with a clouded mind
you were always crying with joy when I visited you
yet I could see the shame in your eyes
ashamed to be weak
ashamed to be a burden
I cursed the cancer in your body
and I would have changed place with you if I could
when your pain finally ended
and you slipped away
you looked so small
like a resting kitten
peaceful at last

I still misses you and I still remember
I never told you Granny
but I loved you then
and I love you now
tears fill my eyes
but I remember you

My granny
the peace and love in my life
I still remember you
and will never forget you
rest in peace now
I’ll see you in a while
