Over a year has passed.

Over a year has pasted since you left this place.

when you closed your eyes and said goodbye
Leaving us with only tears to cry, and memories to relive.
 
I regret all the things I never did, all the promises I said
All the time I wasted, doing things  that were pointless.
 
Now I have nothing but my memories, of the days I spent
Along side you in the shadows of my past, walking hand in hand,
On the beach at 5 in the morning in our pajamas looking at the clouds
Change shapes, and the sky turn colors as we watched the sun rise.
 
Remembering all the bubble gum ice cream we ate, and salomi,
And drank Pepsi, cause its all you had in your house.  How you
Had a bed, but instead you slept on the couch With the tv going.
How you played Easter bunny every year till I was 13 years old.
When we knew it was you all along, you filled lil plastic eggs with candy,
And change and hid them in your yard. How you fought through your cancer,
And lived, you survived. We stood by your side through it all.  
 
Now that your gone, all I have is my memories, all I have is the
Time I spent with you in my childhood and teen years. I was lucky
To have my great grandmother for as long as I did. Now that your gone,
All I have is my memories, to keep me moving along.

R.I.P Helen Smith 

this is about my grandmother who passed away over a year ago now.

with her being gone now, all I have is my memory's to keep her alive.

she was a great fighter, and woman. I loved her a lot. It was a hard tthis last year march 14th 2012,

when I losT her. I got a call at 3 in the morning saying she had passed away. And thank god I had my good friend and special person who stayed on the phone with me the whole time while I cried so I wouldn't be alone.

thank you so much Matt! You stood by my side that whole year,  and that hard month while she was sick, when she died, and when more bad things followed those events. Your the best. I miss you grandma Helen.
