If God had given you a few more years would you have held me, smiled at me....put me on your knee and told me stories? Might you have written a poem and read it to me, as I smiled into your blue eyes. Or perhaps swung me around and around until we both were dizzy. What did your voice sound like? Was it kind and soothing...or deep and gruff? Would you have told me you love me, at least ten times a day? Strange, but now that I know you a little bit, just a little bit.... I miss you, I’m sad that we never met. Because I think I would have loved you, loved you a lot... Your Grandson |

I enjoyed this and your musings. I never knew a grandfather either. This is a tender write. Joyce |

Magnus~ This touches me tenderly, for my four children never got to know either of their grandfathers either~ I thank the good Lord that my used-to-be has been able to see and enjoy the arrivals and delights of our two granddaughters~ *Huglets* to you for this beautiful piece~  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

perhaps in it's own way, this becomes a great lesson for us to witness and make certain we do swing them around until we are both dizzy. This reminds me of the song, Cat in the Craddle. Always manages to bring tears to my eyes, along with this heartfelt write. God speed. Hugs...Lee J. |

I understand this feeling very well..  "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
