I was missing my grandiegirl so much
and I was crying when her mom called.
She put me on the speakerphone to say hello
and I talked, though I stalled.

She said Hi Grandma,
I miss you Grandma.
I love you Grandma.
and I lost it.

Bawling, I said I love you too.
I miss you too.
But by my voice cracking,
I guess she knew.

And she said
Don't cry Grandma.

Little ball of strength,
little piece of my heart,
little tower of power,
while grandma falls apart.
