I Won't Forget, by Anna Eick

Anna & her Grandpa "Sam", February 2007




It will have been a year next week since Dad aka "Grandpa Sam" Conrad Eick went Home to be with Our Father. A year ago this monday ( it was a Saturday, like today) we dropped in and had lunch with him. We had no idea it was the last time we'd see him this side of heaven.

This is a poem written by his granddaughter a few days after I discovered he had left us for his eternal home. She read it at his service and left a copy of it in his pocket when we laid him to rest, as a final token of how much we all would miss him.

I Won't Forget

I won't forget your deep chuckles and my silly giggles;
I'll remember your strong hugs, and my small kisses.
I won't forget your wonderful stories, and how I loved them.
I'll remember your love for me,
and how proud I was that you were my grandpa;
But, most of all, I won't forget you, Grandpa.
