Hi, I am your granddaughter. We have never met before but I wish we could have. Life isn’t fair and not getting to meet you is extremely unfair. We have pictures hanging up around the house of you when you were young, just years before you passed away, so I know what you look like, I just don’t know what you were actually like. Mom tells me all the time that you were kind and loving, and that if you were still here today, you would be extremely proud of me. I just wish that you could be here to tell me how proud you are.
Sometimes when I sit I think about you. I am filled with anger and sadness, I sit and I just wonder why? I wonder why it had to happened to you and why the cancer had to take you, nearly 20 years before I was born? It makes me angry that God had to take you and it makes me sad that you didn’t get to watch me grow up. But then, I realize that all things happen for a reason. I realize maybe you were needed in Heaven for some special angel mission.
Mom always told me when I was younger that the brightest star in the sky was put out by you, and that’s how I knew you were watching over me. So now when I go out at night, I like to look up at the stars, and find which one is you. Once I find it, I like to talk to you and tell you how my day is going and what has been going on lately. I like to think that you can hear me and that friends that come to me are sent by you.
I’m always asked the question, “If you could bring one person back just for one day who would it be?” I always choose you. If I were given the chance, I wouldn’t want to meet anyone other person than you. I have so much I want to talk to you about and so much to tell, that one day wouldn’t be enough but I would sure try to squeeze it all in. I would just want to tell you once that I love you, and I would just want to hear your voice.
You raised an amazing daughter and I love her and I could never imagine losing her. She has gone through so much but she is stronger than ever. I would like to think that I am the way I am today because of you. I love you and I can’t wait to meet you some day.
Your Granddaughter
