I can´t believe it been as long as it has already.. I miss you terribly and I know we all do. Grandpa told me how much he missed you, before he passed. I´m happy that the two of you got to be together again. You are both so loved and even though you´ll never read this, I know you are with us all. The snowfall on Christmas, the sunniest of days and even the loneliest times. Thank you for the love grandma
