Dearest Grandma

Published: October 2010

I am laying here writing this letter to you,
Because I have nothing else to do.
I think about you dearly,
It is seen very clearly
You meant so much to me.
Teaching me to be everything I can be.
I treasure every moment we have had
And I am so glad
For all the things that I have learned from you
Teaching me always to be true
Teaching me wrong from right
Helping me to shine bright
Teaching me how to cook
Telling me to read a book
Teaching me to be strong
And not worry when things go wrong
With all the problems, you helped me get through
I am who I am because of you
I am going to miss you each and every day
But the memories I have had with you will stay
I am going to miss not talking to you on the phone
And having you listen to me moan
I am going to miss our long talks
And the times we went for walks
I am going to miss not holding you in my arms
And all of your charms
But I know you will be here
Each and every year
Until the time we will meet again
And be together till the end

I love you Grandma Jo.
My grandma, my pal, my friend, my hero

I am 19 years old and on 11/11/12 my grandmother passed away. I really will miss her, she was like a mother to me and always by my side. It hurts not to see her in this world but I know she's not in pain anymore and that's what matters even though I will miss her. I cry every night just thinking that I will not see her again :'( but that's life and I know she's an a better place where she can be happy and watch over us ( my family ). She will always be in my heart no matter what happens I love you grandma so much and miss you hope to see you soon <3
