So This Year is Different:

I am usually so excited for this time of year Christmas Season. And I have tried so hard to get into the Christmas Season this year. I decorated my house, been listening to Christmas songs, doing projects with after school class. But it's just not helping. My Grandma who passed away almost 7 months ago was very into Christmas. Her inside and outside of her house would always be full of Christmas stuff, and her house always full of Christmas Spirit. After she passed away I knew that the first holidays without her would be very hard for all of us but I didn't imagine it would be this hard. I miss her so much and Christmas was one of her favorite times of year. She would have her manger up with it all set up except for baby Jesus (she wouldn't put him out until the night of Christmas Eve) after all of her kids would go to bed. My mom did this for us too. My Grandma would have all her Christmas shopping done and wrapped before the 1st of December. One of her favorite things was her Christmas tree they would always get a huge tall Christmas tree, full of lights, ornaments it was always beautiful. There would always be so many Christmas presents under the tree took up half of the living room. But this year is different Grandma has a tree this year but its very small and on her grave this year ( saying that part I'm tearing up) My mom and sisters got my Grandma a very pretty tree and put it on her grave she probably looking at it and loving it. Grandma Christmas is going to be different this year We all love and Miss You tons. MERRY CHRISTMAS Grandma!!

I found this poem made me think of you my Dear Sweet Grandma!!

Missing you Grandma

She'd pull out her picture album, she'd show them as we grew.
She'd pinch our cheeks, and tell us that we were cute.
Annoying that this may sound, I miss all of that
And would give everything, to have it all back.

The last time I saw you, you recognized me not
But in my heart, I know.. you have not forgot.
I wish you were here, to see my kid smile
If you were I know..you'd go the extra mile.

You've always had a gift, to make us all feel loved
And your remembrance to me, is of a morning dove.
You were calm, peaceful, beautiful and serene
And never once.. did I think you were mean.

I wish I had you here with me now
I know you will always be.. with me somehow.
Normally you'd be telling me now, to be brave
But instead, I'm alone taking flowers to your grave.

My Tears are falling  as I write, I really don't want to cry
And what I miss most of all.. is the twinkle in your eye
It saddens me so, that the lord has taken you away
But he said it was your time.. It was your day.

Someday we will meet in heaven, and forever we will stay
Together in heaven, we will see each other.. Everyday.
