If I could turn back time...
Lately with everything that has been going on, my sister getting married, my niece growing up, my husband joining the Air Force, it makes me wish the family lost, was here with us now. Both sets of my grandparents are gone. My mom's dad passed when i was five, then my mother's mom, 12, and my dad's parents passed away within a year of each other, and it only seemed like yesterday. I miss them so much, and it breaks my heart that they are not around to see how their family has grown, the things we have accomplished, the things we still have yet to accomplish. My husband and I getting married, which I was lucky enough to have my dad's parents with us, but it is still bittersweet that they can't be here to witness our lives. The Gerardi Grandparents, didn't get to see me grow up into the woman I have become, they didn't see me at prom, graduate or get married. The Reed grandparents got all of those, but they aren't here now. Neither set will ever get to see my children, see my graduate college(when I finally go), and live my life. This life just seems empty without them. I still remember small things about them, which I will treasure forever. I just wish I could go back in time, and be with them more, knowing now, that I had, what seemed to be, a few precious moments with them. That fade away with each passing year. I am blessed to have my mother and father, and losing my grandparents already, makes me want to spend as much time with my parents as possible! It hurts to continually think that this is how life is. Parents, daughters, sons, grandparents, sisters, brothers, uncle, all leave us, eventually. If I had one wish, it would be to bring back all my family passed and spend one day with them. Talking, laughing, and remembering! That's all I would need. So they could see how wonderful there family is, and how much we miss and love them. I would do anything to hug my grandparents again, and tell them how much I love them. God willing, that's the only thing I would want. My Family.
