This is a poem I wrote a few years after my Grandad died.

Grandad was a huge part of my life, he died when I was 19 and I felt like my world had stopped turning, and I then became angry that everyone else carried on around me as if nothing had happened (people that didn’t even know him!) while I was just completely devastated. I found it really hard to stay away from home at uni and ended up coming back and commuting 2 hours each way to try and finish the course.

A few years later I had 2 young kids. When they’d both gone to sleep I was in the bath and the words in the poem came to me.

I hope they bring you some comfort, if you want the words with your personal picture as the background, email me at lisa@skylarkhopeandjoy.co.uk
