I never thought I would have to say GOODBYE to my best friend But that’s what I had to do today I had to let go of her forever -

There was no other way For me to face reality Or pretend to be okay I had no concept -

Of how hard it would be To actually let go Of this huge part of me Not tomorrow or ever -

Will my life be the same Without my Grannio here Life seems to be a game - Of chance and questions

Questions that never end And have no answers That can begin to mend The gaping hole inside of me

Nor come close to healing My heart and soul that Seem to be feeling Lost, numb and empty-

Completely hollow Like I have nobody left To really follow - Through life with respect

She was so much more Than my Grandmother I knew that before She left this earth

And I told her so More than once or twice Because she had to know Just how very special -

And truly blessed I felt to have her as my friend She was the best Without a doubt -

My Grannio gave me More than anybody Will ever really see It was an unspoken -

Kind of love That came with no conditions And went far above The normal caring

And average support For a grandchild - Or family of any sort She gave more of herself

To me than anyone In my life ever will Nobody could have done What she did
