You never said im leaving, you never said goodbye, you were gone before I knew it, and god only knows why. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place that no one can fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you didnt go alone. Part of me went with you the day that god took you home....
I seen this poem and thought of you this...

Gabby

Gram is good, silly as usual and always trying to see the best in...

Joseph Fidler was legally my grandfather but more my father. He taught me all the things a father should have and helped all the times a father would have. I will miss him more than words can describe. But i know he is in a better place and is and will forever watch over me!
