Being gromommys first grandchild, i am very lucky to have had 20 years with her. There are so many memories, theres no way i can list all of them. From putting on dance shows for her in my living room to having long talks with her about clothes, friend problems and more. She was one of the few people that understood and mourned when my pets died. When most people just say "oh its just a dog" she would cry with me and completly understand. thats a grandmother...no... a gromommy. She was so proud when she heard I was going to vet tech school, and i'm going to try very hard to make her proud and dedicate everything to her. She will be forever missed, but never forgotten. Whenever i see the moon i will think of her. And she knows i will take good care of my younger cousins and make sure she lives on in them always. <33 love you
