Grandma,
Oh, I miss you so much already.. I can't imagine a summer without you. You taught me so much about how to love and let go and how to just be happy. You taught a generation of women to be strong and independant and even a little stubborn at times. I'm selfish, and I want you back. But I know you are with your mom, dad and and your brother. That gives me peace. Keep looking over me Grandma. And, please, remind us all to just slow down a little from time to time. I love you.
