Dedicated to my Gran, who passed away Thursday 20th May 2010.

I remember the day I got told, I cried.

For days, for weeks, for months, I cried.

The mention of your name, I cried.

The memories of when you were here, I cried.

The anniversary of the day it happened, I cry.

When I see you in photographs, I cry.

When our programmes come on TV, I cry.

When I know you’re just a memory, I cry.

Your empty seat at my wedding, I will cry.

The birth of your great-grandchild, I will cry.

When I reminisce, I will cry.

When I see you again, I will cry.

I love you forever and always, I cry.

Rest in perfect peace Gran, I cry.
