I'm sorry grandma
I was just told about what you are going through
You are in so much pain
You are literally dying right now
Dying of cancer is what they told me
Apparently you don't have long to live
I wish I could take back all those years
All those years I took you for granted
All those years where I wish we could talk
Talk about how you met my mom's dad
He really sounded like a great man
My parents tell me he was just like me
He died just a year before I was brought into this world
Oh how I wish we could talk about your life
Talk about your struggles
Talk about your greatest accomplishments

I am so thankful for you taking care of me
Taking care of my family
Being there for every struggle and every tear
That I never saw or heard
I was just an infant then
I was barely holding onto dear life
But I didn't know you were the one holding me
Holding my family together in our time of need

Then I got older and so did my sister
I feel like we didn't have those deep talks
Because I was still an infant and a little naive
I always felt like my sister overshadowed me
She always had something going on to talk about
Just because she was a bit older than me
I am not asking for forgiveness
I just want you to understand I love you
I just don't know how to rebuild this bridge
Because you live so far away from me
My grandma was diagnosed with cancer and shes in a lot of pain. She has lost her will to live and I dont know what I should do.
