To my grandparents,

Let me just start off by saying thank you. Thank you for making me laugh so hard and always been there when I need someone to talk too. Thank you for every little and big thing you have done for me and for our family. I am incredibly grateful to have been blessed with such amazing grandparents who created the family I adore so much today.

Your stories about when my parents were younger are always the funniest and even listening to you talk about how much the times have changed throughout your lifetime makes my heart so happy. I am who I am today because of you. You have given me the most amazing parents, aunts, uncles, godparents, and cousins. Our entire family started with the love found within you, your love created something truly amazing, it created a home.

I know I may not visit as much as I used too or call you as much as I should but trust me when I say you're never far from my mind. And whenever we do get to catch up your always so proud of all that I have accomplished. Seeing the pride on your face honestly makes my day. I treasure the memories we have shared and I look forward to creating much more.

I know one of you isn't with us anymore and I wish I could have gotten the opportunity to meet you and create memories with you. However, I know that you are here with me, with the entire family for every Christmas, birthday, and celebration. Just as everyone else who has passed, you will live on within each of us. I see you in my dad and the light in my families eyes when they share stories about you. It's amazing how even though I have never met you, you still have impacted who I am today.

So to my grandparents, thank you for creating such an amazing family. Thank you for always being there when I need someone to listen. Thank you for always having cookies in your pantry and cheese for every holiday. Thank you for introducing me to Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and all of our other favorite shows. Most importantly thank you so much for having a love so powerful that it made a home, a home that wouldn't be the same without each and every one of you.

Love always,

An extremely blessed grandchild
