My grandmother is my absolute favorite person.

When I describe her to people, I tell them how adorable she is and how I'm completely obsessed with her.

I'm so grateful that I've always been very close to her. I would do anything for her and I know she's always there for me, too.

My mother chose to make my middle name the same as my grandmother's first name. This, and the fact that I was the first grandchild, has allowed me to form a very special bond with her. When I was younger, I would have sleepovers at my grandparents' house. My grandma would let me stay up late, eat ice cream, serenade her with my favorite songs, and pretend to do her hair with her curlers.

She never complained about my silliness or the fact that I definitely messed up her hair as I played with it. I'm so thankful I have the grandmother I do. When you give a girl a grandmother, you'll also give her so much more.

When you give a girl a grandmother, you give her a role model.

I always answer the question, “Who is your biggest role model?” the same way. My grandmother has served as my role model for my entire life. She is determined, independent, and caring. She is one of the strongest people I know. She is beautiful inside and out. I hope that one day, I am able to be half the woman, mother, and grandmother she is.

When you give a girl a grandmother, you give her a supporter.

My grandmother is definitely my “Number One Fan.” Whenever she learns I have good news or a new accomplishment, she will instantly be proud of me. She won’t hesitate to slip the news into conversations with her friends, other family members, or even our hairdresser. It may be embarrassing at times, but it also raises my self-esteem and teaches me to be proud of myself too.

When you give a girl a grandmother, you give her a best friend.

I don’t know what I would do without my grandmother. If I could, I would spend my days cuddled up on the couch with her, watching her favorite sports team play, and eating ice cream. She is someone I can always talk to and will always give me good advice. My grandmother really is the best friend I could ask for.
