Do you miss us as much as we miss you?
Are you happy where you are?
Do you wish you were still alive with us?
Do you ever think of us?
What if you were still here, would things be different?
I remember your famous crooked smile. (I have a picture)
And how you'd grumble at the tv.
And how you'd scold the actors, 'STUPID LUH YOU'
And how you had to have Indian food for all your meals.
And how you'd grumble at us everyday, 'study hard luh girl, you'll be the one who'll benefit'
And how you'd knock loudly on the front door, with packets of food in tow for breakfast.
And how you'd refuse to throw away your used singlets.
And how you'd wipe anything & everything with a dirty rag.
And how you'd throw water at me at 4 in the morning.
And how you'd take my phone & hide it under your pillow.
Or the time when you hid my modem. (that was classic)
You had funny names for me. (which I shall not name)
You had funny names for everyone you loved.
You always scrimped & saved whatever you could and spent little on yourself but spent hundreds on everyone else.
You were nice to everyone even if they were nasty or mean.
You made an effort to know & understand everyone.
You loved God.
You were always there for me.
Someone to rant to or complain to.
You never shouted at us. Not once. (Only at the tv)
I'd continue but this wouldn't end.
There are far too many things to say about you.
You were a good father, husband, son, grandfather and father-in-law.
I wish you were still here, but you aren't. For you are happy & in Heaven.
I miss you Grandpa. So very much.
If only you knew how much. But I'm sure you do.
