Here I sit, clumped in my chair,
Waiting.
Waiting for the bad news to come,
But it doesn’t……..
I know it’s going to happen,
But yet it doesn’t


I sit here wondering,
Wondering when it’ll happen,
Where I’ll be when it does
It worries me to wait forever,
I have hopes of it never happening,
But I know it’s for the best

I sit and day-dream about you,
About when it might happen,
I hope it doesn’t happen soon,
I hope to see you again before,
Before the bad news comes,
Before more tears are shed

I’ve shed many tears over this,
This bad news I wait for,
There’s never a day I don’t think about you,
About how sick you look,
About how much pain your in,
About how much pain everyone’s in

But for now I must sit and wait…

Just don't let it get to you. Be strong, stand tall, make your great grandmother see that you can do this. Make her proud, happy, secure in her leaving.

But until then, I wish you luck and my sincere empathy.

I hope you'll be okay. Well, at least if you believe you will be okay.

Anyways, bye for now. :)

Forever and Always,

Nicole. :)
