Hi mom,
I can't believe it's been a year since you been called to heaven. I know you are happy and out of pain and that gives me peace. It's been pretty hard getting through this year not having you with me though. We all miss you so so much!
Until I see you again-I love you with all my heart.

Missing someone isn't about how long it has been since you've seen them or the amount of time since you've talked. It's about the very moment when you're doing something and wishing they were right there with you.
Grams has always been a huge part of my life, she was always my cheerleader, my number one fan and someone I knew always in my corner. She loved hard, she laughed hard and she won hearts of anyone lucky enough to have met her. There are many times in my life I have said to myself "Ido t know what I'd do without her" and here today I am still trying to figure out how I am going to do this. It seems impossible except for 1 thing, our memories. My childhood memories of playing cards and eating popcorn, our summers spent by the pool, our shopping trips, our Friday night sleepovers, our time spent baking together and most importantly our time spent watching our favorite show The Price Is Right. These are the memories I will keep with me forever.
Grams made such an impact on my life and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss something new about her. She was an amazing woman with a heart of gold. She is truly missed but knowing she is walking the street in heaven with no pain and smiling down on us brings such peace to my heart
I love u grams
