My grandma... words can not say the hurt in my heart without you in my world. You were my world growing up and to today still are. You were my one and only grandma and the best gift god given me to be my grandma. You held my hand when I was sick or hurt, you whipped my tears when I cried, you were there when I was lonely, and protected me from the boggy man when I spent the night. Words can not say what all you did for me but just know I love you with all my heart and miss you with every being of my body.
