Goodbye is being happy that she's gone to a better place yet sad because you'll miss her presence -Rachel



I never realized it would happen so fast
or that it would be so near
So when Mom told me
I was in shock
for a very long time.
I couldn't believe it
and it only settled in when I was in the cab.
(which obviously caused me to cry
and caused the cab driver to think that
i'm crazy)

So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us world's apart
And I miss you
Yeah, I miss you

11hours 43mins and 54secs
that was the time you officially left us
and it hurts that I never did get to see you
right before you left.
But it's no matter
I know that you thought of me
and knew that I thought of you too.

So far away from where you are
I'm standing underneath the stars
And I wish you were here

I don't regret anything
and everything you have left behind
are not sad memories
I'll always keep a part of you with me
that's all I can say
because it's not goodbye for us.
You know that.
It's see you later.

I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they'd mean everything to me

I know that you'll be up there waiting for me
That you'll be sitting there
beside God's throne
becoming another angel who looks after me
Like you always did when you were alive
There's so much I wanted to show you
but I guess you know it all now
I'm glad, really.
because now at least I know you're happy
that you're relieved from the pain
But still

I feel the beating of your heart
I see the shadows of your face
Just know that wherever you are
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

i'll miss you
miss your loving hands
and your humor
and how you always laughed at me
for saying the right things or wrong things
and making feel like nothing could ever
go wrong with you around

I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they'd mean everything to me

I'll miss the way you used to
make me eat so much
the way you asked me if I wanted a drink
the way you asked me to study hard
and be a good girl

Yeah I miss you
And I wish you were here

I'll miss the way you hold my hand
and patted my thigh
the way you kiss my hands
the way you tried to stuff me some money
the way you took pictures
with that slant in you head

More importantly,
I'll miss you.

That's why even though I know
that you're happy
I cry, cry so hard
cause the missing you is what hurts
hurts so bad.

So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us world's apart
And I miss you
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

Rest well, Grandma
see you soon.
