I miss you, grandma.since you lived so far away it doesn´t really feel like you are gone. The miles between us could never lessen The love we shared. we spent so many hours talking on the phone, laughing remembering and sharing life`s little moments. your voice was always a comfort, your laughter a light that could brighten even the hardest days. I´m definitely missing those phone calls the sound of your voice, your stories and the way you always knew just what to say. Every visit with you was a treasure no matter how short the time you made it special with your warm hugs, your gentle words, and that way you had of making everyone feel loved and seen. I always wished our visits could just last a little longer. You taught me so much about kindness, about patience, about finding joy in simple things. you showed me what it means to love unconditionally. your strength, your humor, and your heart will always stay with me. I loved you then, I love you now, and I will always love you. May you rest peacefully surrounded by the same love and warmth you gave so freely until we meet again, Grandma, you´ll always be with me, in my heart, in my memories, and in the quiet moments when I still hear your laughter. Your granddaughter
