This is a pic of me and my grandma taken 4 years ago... It was the first and the last time we took a picture together as far as I remember... She passed away on the 26th of April in 2008. These last days I've been thinking a lot about her and blaming myself. I feel like I hadn't been a good granddaughter at all.
She had had a really hard life. First of all she lost her husband still being young... Then her mom and brother died.... And in the end the worst thing happened... she lost her only child... my father... He drowned in 2001.
Afther his death it had been super hard for her.And I blame myself for not visiting her much. I should have, I know.... I could try to justify myself, but that's not worth it...
At least now I understand my mistake and hope I'll have a chance to say I'm sorry...
For now I'm gonna miss a huge plate of mashed potato and a big mug of sweet tea she made for me every time... and always fresh bread...
Unfortunately only now I understand that I love and miss my grandma..........
Oh, sad.. Can't even imagine how u deeply you touched my heart. I'm so sorry for your loss even it two years ago. Am I a lucky one? I would say yes - none of my close ones passed away as I remember myself. My grandpa one like and granma the other have died even before I was born. And the worst thing is that we all are to lose the near and the dear ones, we're all mortal here on the Earth.. Should we blame ourselves for not doing enough to those we love? How do you measure it? You know, I visit my Dad couple of times a year and these visits mean so much to him. I have never experienced losing somebody u love that much. I think you should spend more time thinking about all the good moments u two had together. Think about it like this, your gma loves you and she's over there watching after you and every time you think how much more could you do and blame yourself she feels bad too, but when you smile thinking about any good moment you two shared together how wonderful she feels over there. Seal her love and the best you had in your heart and regret no more. Feed her with your warm and sincere smile.
