Going to pick up my baby sister at the hospital in her red new Pontiac and we had a fender bender in the parking lot and seeing my mom holding my sister with the nurse standing behind her or maybe when she'd come to visit on E st cause we lived close. To many memories to speak of but I miss you Grandma every single day and wish I would've spent time more time with you these last couple of years but I was there and I know you know I was til your last breath. I miss you so much. The last memory was that but when you were awake was you laying your head on my shoulder crying cause you just wanted to go home. I'm sorry I couldn't break you out in time to get you home so you could die in your home. I would've and you know that too. You are in a better place I know and things have changed so quick but I know you are missed by us all. It's hard without you. You taught me so much and told me so many things and I will hold my promises of our secrets. I love you!! I gave you my ring in your pocket. I know it wasn't much compared to what you gave me.
