For those of you that know italian, you know Nono means grandfather, nona grandmother. For those who dont you just learned a new words in a different language. The phone rang, while I tried to get lost in my world of sleep A horrible day it is today, your gone all I want to say is Je t'aime Nono, just one more time, give you one more hug, one more of my smiles, that you always said broke hearts and melted anger I want you to come to one more horse show with Nona, one more dinner, one more arabic word, I want to make you proud My father's voice telling me that you are gone over the phone, delirous with sleep I think I'm dreaming, but daddy's voice tells me again , and again How can a life get turned upside down in only two days? my body lying on a hospital bed and my nono gone forever what kind of horrible person am I to deserve all this pain? Did I hurt someone so bad? Your french words still echo in my ear All I wanted to say one more time, Je t'aime None Regina H. Levy "nono" October3,1925-March 6, 2001 |

Ina - Very beautiful poem. I am sorry for your loss. This is a very beautiful tribute to your Grandfather. I lost my G-Pa about 3 years back and wrote a similar poem, but I have always kept that one to myself. My best wishes go out to you. Jon "Your anger is a gift"-Rage Against The Machine |

I liked it....very well expressed here. My condolences about Nono.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

This is an excellent tribute. Very well written, a lot of emotion, you nearly made me cry. I hope that you never forget him, and keep your Nono close to your heart always. This is a great way to commemorate him. If you need to talk to me, you know where I can be reached. Be strong, hon. ~Allan Stupidity makes the world go around...and people like us laugh. ~~Elizabeth, to Allan |
