Dear Shirley, I wanted to tell you that you don’t have to worry about Debbie and Amber. I told you I would take care of them and I will. Debbie and Tom are taking care of all the things you wanted. Amber is planning a lovely flowered rock garden for you and Grampa. I’m going to knock down the old shack and clean the place up. I’m going to miss your banana cream pie that you would make special for me every time I did something that made you happy…so I guess you’ll owe me one when I get there. I wanted to Thank you for two things. Thank you for taking care of Amber when she was young. You made her the beautiful person that she is. And Thank you for Debbie, She is the love of my life. I remember not very long ago, walking into your house and seeing you and Grampa sitting on the couch and he was rubbing your sore feet. Guess I should’ve knocked louder…But it just showed me how much you still cared for each other. Anyway, We all miss both of you. We’ll see you down the road aways…oh and don’t forget the pie. Love mike
Grandma, you will always have a special place in my heart. You gave me the most precious gift of all – life.
When the grief is overwhelming, I find comfort in the memories of you. I will never forget the little things: raisin porridge for breakfast, watching daytime TV together, long walks across the field and tending to the greenhouse. Little things that had a big impact on me.
Thank you for being you and teaching me the importance of being myself. I miss you.
Love,
Shawna
