Poppa

This morning I heard people talking on the radio about what you would say to someone if you knew it was the last chance you had... You played it over "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"... I had to stop what I was doing, just sit there and listen, because Nana passed away last Wednesday, and that song was played at her funeral this Monday gone. So this is what I'd say to my Poppa, who is still with us, but grieving so much for his wife of 54 years...

Poppa, you are the strongest man. You may not see it, but with everything you, Nana and our family have gone through together, you have stood your ground and held us together as we crumbled. We are here for you now. I promised Nana that we would take care of you, help you cry and remember whenever you need. We're a part of her and you, and we love you.

I hope people realise the importance of grandparents, and take some time out to tell them you love them; appreciate all their funny ways, their stories and memories. Because once they're gone, a chapter of your history closes. Cherish every moment...
