  I just want to say that on Tuesday Morning at seven o'clock, my grandpa died, and it was my first day of school. My grandma wouldn't tell my mom or I because it would spoil my first day. So, after school when I found out, I kinda knew already, because, I went to there house, he was at the hospital, and my aunt uncle and all my cousins were there. I saw that the local funeral home had called her. I knew then. She was with my dad making arrangments for the funeral. This poem meant so much to me. I am eleven years old and my grandpa was seventy-eight. He had other children and grandchildren, but I lived ten minutes away and they live an hour. He was so special to me. Whenever I had a problem, he would read the Bible and say a quick prayer with me. He was my rock. And still is. I love him so much. Thanks for this poem and have may God bless you dearly in your life.

  I was on here just looking for a poems about grandpa's and came across yours. See my peapa just passed away 6/24/2007 I'm inTx and didnt have the money to go see him when we first found out he wasnt going to make it, then I gt the call two day's later he had went to be with his mother and father and son who went before him, When I got the call it was like my life just stop for my peapa was everything to me but I know he's with the one's he so long waited to see again and he will forever be in my heart. I love you peapa and miss you already.

  i love the poem. hey i lost my grandpaw 3 years ago. when i was nine. though you would think i didnt have a great relationship with him because i was young. well i did. but my grandpaw was my best friend,but on a thursday i lost him when my dad stared into my eyes and didnt know how to say it. i cryed till i cryed dryed tears. i knew that he would never be there again. that day i lost a best friend,a grandpaw, and my savior. and may god be with you and to all who loses the ones they love. god bless ya'll. i liked your poem it touched me.

• Gayle
  This is a very powerful poem that really touched mine and my childrens hearts. See they just lost their grandfather yesterday 5/17/'06 and just last month we lost my brother 4/11/'06. It has been so hard here. This poem really touched my heart as that is the kind of man that my dad was, and know that he is as he lives in our hearts. He helped in raising my son now 15 and daughter 12 while husband and I worked. He gave so much and didn't want anything in return. This poem really fit for yesterday when we lost him. Although some is changed for here as my son and daughter are younger. He passed away in the hospital. He was 83. I know that his time was up and the our Heavenly Father called him home, but it doesn't make it any easier. I also like the poem that you might also like is the broken chain. Thankyou to the author here for putting your poem on here for others to find comfort in their loss of their loved ones, grandparents. This is truely a special poem that deserves a very high rating. thankyou. gayle m.

• sarah
  your poem really touched me, because not over a week ago i lost my grandpa. i really miss him and wish i could have spent more time with him. and seeing him laying cold and stiff in that casket broke my heart he did not look like the grandpa i once knew and his skin felt like rubber. but i know hes waiting for me above.

• ashley
  i lost my grandpa. i felt like i died. this poem may me think of him. it made me cry.
• Julie
  I also lost my papa when I was 13. I too was pulled from class and confronted with my crying mother. Beacause of this, the poem really touched me. It will soon be 12 years since my papa's death, but the pain is still fresh in my mind and heart. He guided me through so much, and I miss that. He was there for each new stage in my life. He took me to my first day at school, taught me to count etc. And now that another new chapter has opened up in my life (I'm getting married), I feel sad that he won't be there too. This poem makes me realise that others have suffered exactly the same situation as me, and that's comforting in a way, because it shows that people can go on.

  I really really really likes this poem because it really touched me. My grandpa have been battleing cancer and he finally passed away and the hardest thing i had to do was to go in and tell him goodbye and not leave anything out that i would regret not saying. I miss him so much and i was to pulled out of class and my mom and my eyes met and me started to ball and then my brother too and it hurt so much more to see my 17 year old brother cry. It was something i had never seen before.

  This poem touched my soul very much My grandpa died about eight years old and I was only 12 years old and at the time I didnt want to realize I wouldnt ever see him again but I feel your pain. God bless you everyday
• Jacqueline
  this poem was very touching. I just lost my grandpa pap-pa almost 2 months ago, i didnt think i was going to be able to go on anylonger without him he was one of my best friends its so hard when to hear people call me "Jac" because i know i wont hear people calling him that anylonger (i was named after him) You poem helped me to realize that even though he's gone he's never going to leave my heart. My pap-pa's with God now and he's happy i think we all need to remember that and know that our grandparents want us to be happy also
• Lori
  This poem has really hit my heart, for my grandfather too loved christmas with all his heart, and was a major role in my life, every christmas eve we spent at his house sharing gifts, food, laughter, and love with the exception of this year He spent his last christmas eve with us all viewing him in his casket, and as Amanda wrote in this poem I to am lost. It is so wonderful to see how peoples grandparents touch our hearts.

  How much this reminds me of my Pappaw who died 10 years ago. When I was 8 mths. pregnant w/my son, I stumbled & started falling down steps. I only fell 4, when an angel that I knew would always protect me, caught me. Myself and son, unharmed. I could have fallen 15 steps. That angel was my Pappaw. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful poem!
