To my angel,
I wish more than anything else that you were still here with us. I know that you're in a better more peaceful place, watching over us every day. I find such comfort knowing you're no longer in any pain, and that you will never experience suffering again. I know that you saw me graduate high school. I know that you saw me setting up my room on my first day of college. I know you celebrated with my when I scored my first collegiate goal and I know you lead me into the arms of the most wonderful man I have ever met.
You were so loved, by so many people. You loved without limits and made everyone who knew you feel heard and accepted into your home.I can honestly say you positively impacted the lives of all the people that you met. You and Nana were the pillars in what became a kind, welcoming, loving and hard working family. I will live my life trying to make you proud, and instill in my children and grandchildren all that I learned from you.
Thank you for taking care of us when mom was sick. I will never forget coming home from school to you and Nana welcoming us with smiles and hugs. Thank you for having a laugh that was so infectious, it could light up the dimmest room. Thank you for praying for me every single day. I know without a doubt that God took a special interest in me over the years because of you. Thank you for giving the best hugs. Thank you for raising the best mother in the entire world. I don't know where I would be without her.
Missing you comes in waves. I'll never forget the last time I saw you- waving goodbye from the end of your driveway. I came across the letter you wrote me the other day and reading it brought me to tears. You always put so much love and thought into everything you ever said to people. I could hear your voice in my head, hear your laugh, and see your smile so clearly. I never really thought about how your passing would affect me. I always thought you would be the man who would outlive everyone else.
Before you left, I never ever thought that I could miss someone so deeply. I will always regret not giving you a longer hug , that last time that I saw you. However, I take great comfort in knowing that you're finally with God, and I know how incredibly happy that makes you.
I will miss you for as long as I live, and never ever forget you.
Love always,
Your Granddaughter
