The Day Grandpa Died

by bobby graham

When I was a little boy, I did not know what death was about, but now that I'm older I realized everything comes to an end.

When I was 8 years old I watched my granpal die from cancer. He told me that he would be leaving me for a time. I asked him where he was going and he told me home. I replied, "But you are home."

Then he said; "Baby don't cry cause I'm going to a better place and you will see me again someday." He gave me a kiss on my cheek and went to sleep. My mom said; "Don't worry, he will always be around you for he goes with you everywhere and that his love is forever so don't let go."
