Bubbie and I in the pool when I was a baby.
Olivia Safrit
July 6, 2010
From the time I was born, you gave me everything and you were the best grandma possible, you are my one and only Bubbie. We always had such a special and irreplaceable connection. You always made sure I was happy, and I am who I am because of you. We spent so much time together, even until the very end.
The day that you passed away, was the worst day of my life, not a second goes by that I am not thinking about you. I know you are with Dixon though, and I know you are looking down on me from heaven. There aren't enough words in the world to explain how much I miss you, and how much I love you. This all feels like a dream, and I keep waiting to wake up, but then I remember that all this is reality. Sometimes I forget you are not here on this earth anymore, the other day at work I thought to myself "I think i will go visit Bubbie today" and the other day at Target I saw a cat sculpture and I thought to myself "oh I should buy this for Bubbie" but then I remember you are not here anymore. I do know, however that you will always be by my side, for the rest of my life.
I miss you so much, I miss having long talks about life with you, I miss you leaving me voicemails that always started with "Hey Liv! it's Bubbie," I miss holding your hand, I miss taking you shopping, I miss being able to see you every single day, I miss hearing your voice over the telephone, I miss every memory that we shared.
You always cared about me, believed in me, supported me, and loved me like know other person has. I never could bring myself to tell you 'goodbye' because I never wanted to let you know that I knew you were close to passing away. Looking back I am glad I never said goodbye, because this isn't 'goodbye,' it is 'see you later,' because I know one day I will see you again in heaven.
I love you Bubbie, and I always will. A piece of you will always remain in me, and your ashes will always remain in the dove that hangs from my neck.
