to sit here and think about something to write about my gram is unimaginable. the thought that she isnt with me anymore is not real. the fact that im writing it now that shes gone and she will not know the things im about to say make me very angry. she should be hearing how amazing she really was. it shouldnt be written in past tense, it should have been said in the present. the truth is there isnt a word good enough to describe what a remarkable person she really was. she was the glue that kept our family together weekly for dinner. she was the rock we all would lean on whenever our day was bad. she was our cheerleader for whatever we were doing. she was our supporter when we needed supporting. she was our strength when we thought we had none. she was by our side when we didnt think we needed her. these are just a few of her qualities that made her wonderful but to me she was my everything. i was her first grandchild for many years so i was lucky enough to have had her for so long with out having to share her. it was then that i knew i had a bond with her that know one would ever be able to break. she stood by my side in my worst of times and of course through my best. never did she ever put herself or her feelings before anyone elses, not even a stranger on the street. knowing this about her, i would always put her and her feelings above everyone elses because i know if i didnt she never would. as much as i knew she cared about her family is as hard as i tried to love her right back, if not more. im dying inside without her and i cant stand the fact that i cant wake up every morning and call her like i used to with a simple "hey gram, what are ya doing." my heart hurts and is broken forever because not only did i lose my gram, i lost my best friend. i lost a part of me. she has been my world since the day i was born. she has never left my side since the day i came into this world and i truly dont know what im going to do with out her next to me...
