The last time we spoke we laughed and said nothing of meaning
Just two people talking and remembering old times
I had no idea that would be the last time we spoke
Had I known, I would not have wasted those moments with idle chat
I would have told you what it meant to me that you let me stay with you for 2 weeks
I would have apologised for not phoning each month like I said I would do
I would have apologised for not sending those pint-glasses to you like I said I would
I forgot and that shames me now
I have that stupid photo of you and me on the rollercoaster at King's Dominion, I still look like I'm going to vomit.
I remember us both chickening out of doing the bunjee ride because "that's just tempting fate" whilst we sat and drank beer and laughed at those people
I remember you taking me to your office at Quantico and then trying to get me past security at The Pentagon to show me around where you worked.
I remember how happy you were all the time I was with you.
I remember you and Carol taking me round the mines in Virginia and making crap jokes about sinkholes.
I remember lots of things about you
But most of all, I remember our last phone call 3 weeks ago
And I'm glad I remember you happy and full of life
Although I loved her, I was never particularly close to my nan. I didn't go to the party my family held for her 80th birthday party because I "couldn't be bothered".
She lived with my aunt and uncle less than five minutes away, and I never went to see her.
The last time I saw my nan, my mum and aunt had taken her into town and they were eating in the cafe in Littlewoods. I needed to get something from my mum, and I met them in there.
I can't remember why, but I was in a bad mood that day. My nan asked me if I wanted something to eat, and I snapped "no" and then practically ignored her for the 5 minutes or so I was in the cafe.
A few weeks later, she was taken into hospital with what we thought was 'just another imaginary illness'. Having spent lots of time in hospital as a kid, I don't like them much - and all the times she was taken in, I never went to visit, even though when I had been in hospital she was there almost every day to give my parents a break.
Though many people thought she was a bitter old lady, including myself, she would have done anything for me and her other grandchildren.
And being the selfish fool I was, I never appreciated that.
I never saw my nan alive again, and I feel guilty every time I think about it.
I hate to part with anyone on bad terms these days, because you just never know if you'll see them again.
