A Thank You Letter To My Grandparents

No amount of words could thank you enough.

A Thank You Letter To My Grandparents
Twitter

You were there from the beginning. You loved us like we were your own. You might not be our parents but you are pretty dang close. I know the words that I am about to write could never express the absolute gratitude that you guys deserve. I know that I don't say it enough but I love you with my whole heart.

In my several years in nursing school, I have seen multiple elderly people sicker than you couldn't imagine. When I leave the hospital, I say a little prayer that God granted me another day with you both in my life. I know I don't say it enough but the time that we spend together I will remember for the rest of my days.

The memories of the both of you while I was growing up mean so much to me. I will never forget countless summers spent at your house. The hours of swimming in your pool, going to football games, and multiple evenings after school when you watched me and Emily. I could never thank you enough.

I know that as time goes on, we seem to see each other less and less. But times that we spend together mean the world. I know that there are children out there who would kill for the perfect set of grandparents like you. You were the extra set of parents every child needs.

I appreciate all that you do for me and Emily and no amount of money or time could make it up to you. I hope that someday when I have children of my own that they get to experience the wonderful grandparents — that will then be great great grandparents like I did.

Know that no matter where life takes me I will always be your little girl. I will always be that little girl who wants to play in the pool and eat lunch meat sandwiches with you. I know that someday I will regret all the time that I could have spent with you.

Although we might not say it, we appreciate all that you do for us. From slipping us money on the side, and giving us rides from place to place without even giving it a second thought. All your time and effort doesn't go unnoticed. Emily and I love both of you with every inch of our hearts and want you to know that we will always be there for you no matter what life throws our way.

Love,

Your Granddaughters

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
