It's for my great grandma. She is in the last stages of altimers. Me and her were really close... when she actually remembered who I was.....

Now we just need some requirements is it like a letter in respect that your sharing it as a good bye? or a letter to place in the casket before they put her in the ground. also I'm very sorry about your Grandma, my own died about a few days after school ended.

I know that I'm going to be reading it at her funeral (I was asked to cuz I was so close to her. Honestly out of all the grandkids- there are 6- I was the closest to her) They are cremating her *sigh* I get to have a vile necklace filled with some ashes. I'm also going to help spread the ashes.

lets see here creative gears slowly beginning to get up to speed...
okay you could pull the overly mushy approach but I doubt that would really be appropriate...

I got it! how about a short poem telling of experiences you guys shared here was what I was kind of thinking

Sitting on those quite benches
talking the day to dusk

gardening for hours

walking
talking
reading
writing

those are what I miss

this is just an example of what could work but it of course is all up to you and the hardest part of writing anything is finding a spot to start :blush:  

[Pandamoneyelephant00]

No, I really don't feel like reading a poem outloud. I don't do well with reading my poems outloud... I just need a starting sentance  

[tobiwants2cookies]

Okay then... wrong set of creative gears sweatdrop sorry about that...
hmm switching gears very slowly...
an Idea is coming...
Theres always the classic we are gathered her today... but I doubt that's what you want

Um I think I have it now

"It's hard to write a (speach/letter whatever you want) when everything that tells of the greatness of a person has already been written or spoken... (well the rest I suppose is up to the imagination because I lack background sweatdrop  

[Pandamoneyelephant00]

I've thought of doing something to the effect of starting off with a quote about life and being happy even in the blackest of days. I can't remember the exact words... =/  

[tobiwants2cookies]

Yay more background info now this I can really work with biggrin

"Life is always gray it seems, sometimes black when the night seems to fall but the trick is to turn on the light and let it fill the world making everyone brighter."-yours truly  

[Pandamoneyelephant00]

eh... not the effect I was looking for. I had a start of; As I look into the crowd and see your tear-stained eyes, I am reminded of every day that we had to deal with knowing she was going to die.

Hey! Thanks I have a start now. lol. I added more. I haver everything up until I made the comma. lol  

[tobiwants2cookies]

congratulations I'm glad I could help in a crazy way of blasting ideas and being utterly insane but what the heck it worked... hope the speach/ letter/ whatever the heck it's called is touching and emotional
