Grandma,
You were our rock, what are we going to do without you here? We miss you and love you so
much. It hurts so much knowing I can't see your face or hear your voice ,to not be able to
pick up the phone and call or text you to check on you and see how your day is going and let
you know how we are doing, you've gained your wings now and you are no longer in pain.
There are so many things that I can see and feel as if they had just happened.
I’m sure everyone has many memories much like mine. They are good memories,
something we will always have to cherish forever.
It isn’t often in our lives that we come across someone so special as our grandmother.
Grandma cared more than most, loved more than most and would tell you how it is,
no matter what she went through or was going through she will always tell you she was good
and blessed. The kind of love Grandma felt for us was a love without condition. She may not
have approved of everything we did, may not have liked some of the decisions we made,
but she didn’t lecture, she didn’t judge. She just kept loving each and everyone of us, letting
us know that she was there and if we ever needed her, we could count on her to listen,
to comfort, to help. She lived a good life and It didn’t take much to make grandma happy a
simple phone call, a card, a visit or a kiss on the cheek would do. She always made sure
everyone was okay and felt welcomed. We were the most important people in the world to
her. She lived to make our lives better and was proud of us. As we were of her and all she
accomplished in life. To think that our grandma felt that way about us should make us all feel
more than just a little good. We can never forget that there is a part of her in each of us,
something that she gave to us and asked nothing for in return.
The memories we have of her cannot be damaged, destroyed or lost. It is permanent,
and it keeps her from becoming just a wonderful memory. It allows her in so many ways to
remain just as alive as always through us. There have been and will be times in our lives
when situations arise where we’ll want so much to talk to her, be with her or
ask her just what we should do. I hope that, when those times come, we can begin to look
to each other and find that part of her that she gave to each of us. Maybe we can learn to
lean on each other and rely on each other the way we always knew that we could with her.
Maybe then she won’t seem quite so far away. So, for your prayers, love, wisdom, tenderness, compassion, understanding, and patience thank you, Grandma.
After you, Grandma, the mold was indeed broken.
Thank you so much. We Love you so much! Always with us,
Forever in our hearts!
~Love your grandkids /great grand kids
