Grandpa

I can't believe it's been a year.
I can still hear your laugh, as you point your finger my direction and say;
"Don't make dust!"
From time to time I'll call home, hoping to talk to you...
You shared great joy and wisdom to my life for thirty-one years.
The pain of losing you is deep-
My memories of you are strong,
they keep me smiling when the sadness becomes overwhelming.
I remember; "Don't be sad, Matt."
I'm doing my best-
I really miss you grandpa!
