Grandma, you were my biggest fan, my inspiration, and my motivation to reach my goals. You were always there for me, and I miss you more and more with each day. I didn't get the chance to tell you before you left me...
I wish I would have told you how much I loved your warm hugs after a bad day.
Recommended for you
How you always knew what to say, even if i didn't want to hear it.
How much I appreciated seeing you at every middle/high school event of mine, like band competitions, concerts, football games, or when I went to the Apollo Conference.
How much I loved eating peanut butter sandwiches and drinking a glass of chocolate milk every time I was at your house.
Thank you for making me reconsider my perspective. You probably saved me from a lot of arguments.
When you told me stories about your grandma, what you learned as you got older, and how you hoped I wouldn't make the same mistakes as you.
How you always told me I was beautiful, no matter what my hair looked like or if I didn't have makeup on.
You NEVER forgot to call me and tell me happy birthday, and were almost always the first one, and you made sure it was the best birthday every year.
How you called me when my mom told you I was sick, and asked how I was feeling or if I needed anything.
When you would stand up to my dad when he was being mean to me, and tell him to leave me alone.
Thank you for always having my back.
When I apologized for not seeing you as much as I got older, but you immediately forgave me. You taught me not to hold a grudge (even though sometimes, I can't help it).
Ugh, I miss your peanut butter fudge so much.
When you would come to the hospital any time my parents told you we were headed out there. You always met us there, and I was always so thankful to see you.
Thank you for teaching me to be brave, and to stand up for myself and never let anyone bring me down.
Thank you for letting me sit on your lap until you got too weak for me to anymore. We compromised and I sat right beside you instead.
When you would laugh, and it was so contagious that everyone around you laughed too.
When I would vent to you about my boy problems, and you always listened without judgement.
How you told me that you'd be there to watch me graduate from college, get married, and watch over my future children after you got your diagnosis. That meant the world to me and more, knowing you'd still be there.
How you let me spend the night any time that I wanted to, as long as mom said it was okay.
You were always my biggest supporter, and you always cheered me on.
You never ended a phone call without saying, "I love you baby girl".
Grandma, thank you for everything that you taught me while you were here. You always made sure to show me how much you loved me and I appreciate everything that I've learned from you. The time that I spent with you was time I will never forget, and it meant everything to me. I'm lucky to be known as your granddaughter. I love you always.
