Not everyday does one have the chance to encounter an absolute superwoman, a woman who has been through hell and back to keep her family together, a woman who has sacrificed everything for little in return, and I have the honor of calling her grandma.

'Selfless' is an understatement when it comes to this woman.

To leave everything you've ever known to start a new life in a place that seems light years away from home, having to learn an entirely new language, just the thought of it seems terrifying, but she's done it.

Her loved one's battles become her own. She takes on things that would scare even a 300 lb bear.

This woman knows no boundaries. She moves mountains for her loved ones and conquers every obstacle in the process.

Dear Grandma,

I ponder the thought that God made your soul a little too genuine because I know that you will give others everything you have until you are left with nothing.

Thank you for being my number one fan and showering me with your never ending support.

Thank you for your one-of-a-kind humor. Your laugh is contagious and Lord knows you're the source of my sense of humor.

You molded me in the woman I am today, and I can only hope that one day I'll even be half the woman you are.

God is going to gladly welcome with open arms a woman of such class and dignity into his kingdom one day.
