Grandparents, their love is more than anything anyone can ever receive. I'm glad I did and I loved every moment I spent with them. Unfortunately, a lot of us don't value their presence much because we're used to living without them. But when time comes, we regret everything we didn't say, everything we didn't do. That guilt starts to grow stronger until we realise it's too late. So, take time to appreciate and tell them how much you love them while you still can, cause these words are something I wish I would've said too, but was too late.

I sat by the bed, going through the pages of the old albums,
Living those moments with you, while you were there.
I lived every page I touched in that book,
But it's not the same anymore, because you're not here.
Everyday, I wish I was more giving, more understanding
Never understood that your love was more than unconditional,
With no words my eyes filled with tears, the pictures turned blue,
Each second, each moment, I wish I'd spent with you.
Thankful you weren't confined to that hospital bed,
But your final moments linger, imprinted in my head.
Everyone weeping, tears rolling down their cheeks,
For I tried to be brave, but that moment I fell weak.
Countries apart, I knew we wouldn't make it there in time,
For mother was weeping, and so was I.
Your last picture framed, on our memory's wall,
I love you, dear grandpa, never got to say it all.
