My family and I are in mourning for the loss of my oldest grandson. He would have been 30 this year.
TOO SHORT
Wasn’t it only yesterday
when You followed me around
chattering a mile a minute.
My first grandchild. My Michael.
So full of little boy energy and curiosity.
So sweet, with those big wide eyes, and blond hair.
Then there was the bitter divorce
followed by years of fighting to be able to see you
and finally, in your teen years
you divorced yourself from us.
The years went by - nothing was ever resolved.
Why didn’t we fight harder?
Why didn’t we try harder?
I’m sorry Michael.
Now it’s too late.
Your life was too short.

Oh my. My heart aches just reading this!!!! I have to take some time & catch my breath. So -wow- what you must be going thru!!
Dearest Janene,
I am so saddened by your news. I wish I knew what to say or do. As a grandmother of 19, my heart bleeds for you and Michael's parents. Always wondering if we could have done more, be comforted by knowing he was blessed to have been loved by you.
The poem is beautiful and says it best.
All my love and concern, Pat xoxo
