Oma,
I am already missing you so much. Sometimes it felt like you were the only one who got me, believed in me, and loved and accepted me unconditionally!
I knew one day you would go, but I always felt like you'd be here with me forever. I still can't believe you're gone!
I'm grateful that I got to spend your birthday with you on August 22nd. It was so much fun talking with you, watching you tearfully open your presents from us, and sing happy birthday to you and I will never forget that last day I was so blessed to share with you!
Love, forever, your Lisabug.
