Dear Grandma,
It still does not feel real. I know it has only been a few days, but I cannot help but feel like you are still here and this is not real. There are so many times already where I have just wanted to go visit you. I wish I could see you just one more time and not take any moment with you for granted, but I would be selfish to say I wish you were still here because no one deserves to be in pain and I am happy to know you are free of pain. Most importantly, I am happy you are wrapped up in grandpa’s loving arms again.
From the time I was very young I was told I looked just like you, so thank you for giving me your ravishing looks.
I remember being very young, wanting to play games, and you were always the first one to follow my lead; no matter how ridiculous-- ring-around the rosie with all of my favorite dolls.
Stories will always be my fondest memory of you; You would tell stories like no other. Every time I would give you my undivided attention; even if I had heard the same story a million times over. Besides being a great storyteller, you were an even better audience. I knew I could always count on you to listen to what I had to say. More importantly, you would always find a way to laugh at what I had to say, even if it was not funny and you were the only one laughing in the room.
You always would try to get me to love chocolate, specifically dark, and I am sorry that I am not the typical girl who even liked chocolate; especially dark. Now, I do enjoy eating dark chocolate from time to time. You would also always try to get me to enjoy green tea and I was never into it, but now I start many mornings off with a green tea; all thanks to you.
Out of everything I have acquired from you and what I am most thankful for, is that I have acquired my ability, passion, and talent to write from you. You will always be the greatest writer in my eyes. I wish I had the chance to read you more of my writings because I know they would make you proud.
I hope you are happy. I hope I am making you smile. I hope I have sprouted into a girl that you are proud of. I hope you are with grandpa again. Most importantly, I hope you are free of pain.
Save me a nice spot near you and grandpa, and give him a hug for me. Until I see you again, I will love you always.
XOXO,
Your Little Peanut
