I wrote this 5 days from today with the title:
A Letter To Heaven
And it's about the last time i saw my grandma alive and after what happened after.
Here it goes:


January 1st was the last time i saw you
January 1st was the last time i heard you say my name
I remember that day like it was yesterday
Salomi was the only one in that room
And it was late and we were ready to go home
So i came in to tell Salomi we had to go
That was the 1st time in those 2 weeks that i saw you really awake
it was like you couldnt sleep no more and just wanted to be awake for awhile
and i remember me and Salomi didn't wanted to say goodbye just yet
But we had a long way back home so it was time
eventhough I knew troughout the 2 weeks i was visiting you
that your time was gonna come
I knew in my heart that this was defenitely the last time I would see you
2 days later I was at a friends house watching a movie when I received a phonecall from moms saying you just went home to heaven
And i was ready to take the hit because i already prepared myself for this moment
Benny and Salomi picked me up and as we were heading towards Groningen i was quiet the whole time
thinking and thinking and thinking
about how you raised 12 children
how you took care of 8 grandchildren
and how you were blessed to have 4 great grandchildren
And all the memories i have of you and your house
About how i spend my childhood under your care
As I am thinking now the things you must have gone through those 80 years
Growing up in our homecountry
Experiencing the war and how you had to leave your home
And everything else you had to go through here in The Netherlands
Losing your youngest child and later on losing a husband
I see why you couldnt wait to see them again
So All I wanna say is GRANDMA I miss YOU!!
