dedicated to anne turner<3

RIP Anne Turner<3

she passed away friday or saturday night.
she had cancer, but she lived a long life.
she was my next door neighbor who i saw as a grandmother to me.
she took care of me whenever i locked myself out of the house.
she was one of the sweetest ladies i have ever met in my life.
i only regret not seeing her recently before she died.
she is the reminder to me that death can come at any time,
&we should take NOTHING for granted.
we only live once, & we never know when its gonna end,
so we have to live every moment at its fullest.
i miss her immensely & i can only imagine how her husband feels.
so i dedicate this blog & the following poem to her.
anne, you meant so much to me, i love you.

i have seen death come and go,
never was i expected to know;
that you were next in line to take,
if i could, there would be so many changes id make.
i would have told you at least once a day,
i am so grateful for all the times you let me stay.
i would have told you that you make me smile,
everytime i thought i wouldnt see happiness for awhile.
now youre gone & i feel a void in my heart,
the place i saved just for you feels so dark.
however nothing can compare to what i see in your husband,
the emptiness im sure he feels comes through from the way he stands.
you can tell hes not himself cause he doesnt look the same,
theres an air of emptiness about him & his smile never came.
i cant blame him, for you are so amazing,
if i try hard enough, maybe ill see your face when i am star gazing.
i miss you immensely, but you have taught me a lot,
you only benefited my life & i can only be grateful for your advice that i sought.
i know you no longer feel the pain anymore,
i know youre heart is no longer sore.


i will never forget you and all that you have done for me.



be grateful for the people in your life,
never hold back from showing you care.
live every moment to its fullest,
expect the unexpected.
