Grammy I love you so much, I felt so much love and security when I sat on your lap at the breakfast table. You would hold me and hug me with your arms always around me while in my blue footy p-jays. The memory stays with me how safe and loved I felt with you. I have that fealing now even 32 years later. I know when my time has come you will be the first one to open your arms to welcome me.
