Hey Grandma, it's me again. I can't sleep because all I do is think of you. I miss you so much it hurts. It's difficult to be joyous this holiday season when I feel such heartache and sadness. But I know that you are happy and no longer in pain so that gets me through. Just wish you were here. I love you so much.

You are the most amazing woman Grandma! I miss you more than I can say. I'm not sure how to push forward but I know you would want me to be strong and focus on remembering the precious time we had together. You taught me so much and you were always supportive of me. I want you back so badly but I know that you're my angel now and that you'll always be with me. Thank you for all of the love and compassion you blessed us with. I LOVE YOU THE MOSTEST!!!
