Into the Light

I still can't believe it, grandpa..

It's only been a yesr.

But it seems like forever.

I still can't believe it grandma...

It's been 8 years,

But it seems like just yesterday.

I still can't believe it, Cass...

2 months ago we put you down..

but it's almost like you never roamed this earth-

Any of you.

I miss my grandparents and my pet...

it's hard to even think about what they sounded like. 

Gramma, because you left so soon,

I didn't get to make many memories with you.

you didn't get to see me enter middle or high school.

the only memory I have left is you singing..

you are my sunshine...

Grandpa you weren't finished yet!

you still had so much you wanted to do.

I recall you telling tales about Vietnam..

you were so brave!

yet I wasn't when I saw you in the hospital...

Cassidy.. Don't tell anyoe..

but you were my favorite dog ever.

you really had us going on a rollercoaster...

feeling I'll only to feel better.

and only to feel better, to end up having cancer.

you aren't the only ones that have passed in my life,

but you are the ones I think of the most.

Without you here,

it feels so lonely...

But I guess it's betfer,

going into the light,

Rather being stuck here in this hell called earth.
