Today marks 6 long years without you Grandma! Lord knows our family isn't the same and misses you so much. You truly were the glue in our family. And you were our strength! It's crazy how I went from a cheerful HAPPY FRIDAY to tears of sadness and my heart hurting as I write this. You lived a long beautiful life and I'm so thankful for the 39 years God blessed me with you in my life! I pray heaven is as beautiful as you were. I'll never forget you, your kindness, your hospitality, our talks, and even the time we spent in your final days. You had such a beautiful soul and I know it's all because of your upbringing and your faith! You are the true definition of unconditional love, because that's what you showed to all of us daily, a love without conditions. You were always happy to see everyone of your kin! I miss that BIG smile of yours that would lite up and say "HIIiiii" One couldn't help but just love you! I wish you were here still, I would love to be able to tell you about marrying Al after all these years. I remember after we split up how you would ask about him often saying how much you liked him and I didn't have the heart to say anything until that one day I said "he's having another child" and all you said was "Oh! I'm sorry". You knew how hurt I was. I'm so thankful we had a relationship to where I could talk to you about anything! I really miss you grandma. I think more than I realized because I just can't stop the tears from falling down my face right now. Thank you for being the type of grandmother I wish to be.... always having an open door and food to prepare. God bless you always and may you continue to rest in eternal peace. Tell Grandpa hi for me too!
Love Always,
