Scott,
I know you will miss your grandmother--she was that special person that you could always go to for love and comfort--she gave you the love that only a mother can give to her child because she was there when your mother was taken away. Now, they are together. Cherish the memories that you have and remember that you were loved by both of them. We love you, too.
