I'm so afraid I'll forget your voice
Grandma please can we rejoice
That turtle from the gas station may seem very cheap
But the meaning behind it to me it's very deep
You both meant so much
But I know you'll keep in touch...
You were ready, yeah, you knew
But I'll still be here missing you

My grandma passed away very recently and by missing them both I am referring to my dad and grandma.

This made me tear up a little, the turtles my mom gets at the store (candy right?) are a tradition of ours, so i really like it :")
