Dear Grammy and Grampy,

Thank you for not only being my grandparents, but two people who continue to inspire me, encourage me, and motivate me day after day. The past eighteen years of my life, you two have never failed to demonstrate the true meaning of unconditional love and the kind of love that never goes unnoticed.

So, thank you. Thank you for always letting me count on you. Thank you for your endless support. Whether it was coming to June dance recitals, tennis lessons, or award ceremonies, your presence always did and always will mean everything to me. No matter what, I always know that you two want the best for me, and that is evident in all that you do. No matter how busy I am at college, thank you for helping the troubles disappear by the sound of your voices over the phone. The sound of your voices, your stories, and your laughs allows me to feel right at home.

Thank you for all of the unforgettable memories and the memories we still continue to build. Vacations, concerts, musicals, shopping sprees, or just a simple Sunday night dinner. I couldn't be more thankful and lucky to have had the opportunities I've had because of you two. Your warmth, kindness, and sincerity is always visible.

I can't put into words how appreciative, and fortunate I am to have you two in my life. Grampy, your stories and sense of humor never gets old. Thank you for letting me appreciate the ballpark just as much as you do and that music from the fifties is ultimately the best. Grammy, our spontaneous shopping sprees are my favorite. Thank you for always allowing your joyful and heartening personality shine through and make anyone's day. Can't forget Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without the smell of your delectable pumpkin pies in the oven!

So again, here's my thank you. For two very selfless, compassionate, people whom I admire very much. Thank you for everything. I love you!

All my love,

Katie
