Dear Grandma,

I have so much to say I don't even know where to start. In the short two years that I've known you, we have had so many memories, both good and bad. I remember when I first met you and I was so nervous but you were so sweet and you welcomed me into your family so easily. You always made me feel accepted and loved. From the day I met you, I loved you so much! I have my blood grandparents, but you were the closest I have gotten to someone after my Papi passed away. You give me hope and are always so proud of even my tiniest of achievements.

You always make sure that I eat and if I don't, you always make something delicious (like those amazing hamburgers with gravy or chourico and pepper sandwiches). You have made me try things I never thought I would. You made me become addicted to sweet bread and hard rolls with butter (but no bananas and cheese sandwiches). You teach me about religion, tell me stories about when my boyfriend was little and even tell me stories about when his mom was a little girl. I could talk to you for hours. I would do your eyebrows or help you pick out your outfits, too.

You are such a blessing to me and to everyone you meet. When you first got sick, I was frozen with no emotions because I thought I was going to lose you. You're one of my best friends. I remember I was so sad and scared, but you never stopped smiling, at least not in front of us. You took on every day and you mastered it! You were the strongest woman I have ever seen, and you did it. You kicked Cancer's butt, Grandma!

You have made me feel like your own granddaughter and I am so happy to feel like a part of your family. I love when you tell stories to people and call me your granddaughter or when people call me your grandchild. I love the positive energy that you put out into the world helping everyone that you can possibly help. You're always up to something whether it's at the nursing home, church or are making home deliveries of food. You have such a kind and gentle heart. Thank you for showing me how one little thing you do for someone else can make them feel better. Thank you for fighting and being strong and for laughing and making so many amazing memories with me. Here's to many more to come.

I love you, Grandma!

Love,

Your granddaughter

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

596

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

13. When it all comes down to it, though, you know that at the end of the day, music is your passion:

Because you need it in your life.
