Dear Grandpa
My grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease over 15 years ago...

I still remember the day
They told me you were sick,
Said slowly over time
You would begin to forget.
I can't distinguish now
From before and after then;
It hurts to think back
Over everything we missed.
I was so young
But now I'm not;
You watched me grow
Not knowing who I was.
I miss you so much,
And you're not even gone.

RIP Grandpa, May 20th, 2012. It was a long, well fought battle, but I'm happy you can now be at peace. And as you watch over me now I can be confident you can see the woman I have grown to be. I love you.
