Grandma I miss you so much that it hurts. I never got to say my goodbyes to you and it breaks my heart knowing that I will never be able to. You were more than my grandmother, you were like a best friend to me. You never judged me for anything I ever told you. I wish I could see you and hug you and talk to you just one more time. I'll never forget you grandma. I love you so much. R.I.P Beautiful
