I love you!

Dear Grandma,

I love you so much and I miss you so much-though you have not yet passed your not the same, your week and your voice has no energy in it. You are skin and bone and can barely talk, you are scared and at times feel very alone. Your not alone, you are very very loved. I haven't been up to see you nearly enough. I think about you often and pray for you always everyday morning noon and night. Your condition has brought many fond memories to my consciousness. I use to play barbies in your basement and in your living room. You always had the best toys and were adamant about making us put one toy away before getting one out. Your home was always clean and had a wonderful smell. I could always tell that someone had been to your home because of the smell. It smelled of fresh linens and biz. You always smelt of perfume. You were an amazing cook, famous in our family for your mash potatoes and potato salad and evaporated milk macaroni's. You were super strict and spoke your mind. You worked hard to take care of your neighbors and those around you young and old. You always gave out a special vapor rub for when we were sick. This past year you handed your barbies down to Linley and you gave me so many blankets and bibs and baby toys for Natalie. You loved your grand kids and great grand kids dearly and we love you! Thank you for your love and example and courage. You are an amazing fighter so tough! You are a rock I love you and I hope that if it is your time you go in peace..your comfortable..you know we love you and we feel horrible that we haven't come to see you more..you understand you have been a young busy mom before. We know you love us! It's hard to have faith in knowing we will see you again but we will and we do. Grandpa will be ok you can look down and comfort him from your place above. Thank you again god will keep you busy till we meet again. Thank you for going and preparing the way for us when it is our time......

Bridgette, That is so tender. I lost my first grandparent (my grandpa) in March. It is hard to watch them slowly pass. Luckily, I had a very tender moment with him two days before he passed away. I suggest you print that post and put it in a journal or somewhere you can keep forever. My prayers are with you!

Bridgette,

You are one of the kindest people I know. Thank you for that sweet email. I know that you were very close to your grandma and I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sure she is one of your newest gardian angels now. My prayers are with you as well!
