Granny I think about you everyday and I know that you're with me. You were the only one that had my back no matter what. I can still hear ur voice and u come to me in my dreams often and I wish you were here. I miss you like crazy. I know we had our ups and downs but I know you always loved me no matter what and I loved u too. When you passed I felt like another piece of my heart was gone and it won't be filled until we meet again in heaven.

Granny I'm going to miss you pretty bad. You raised me like I was your own daughter and sometimes if it wasn't for you I don't know where I would've ended up. You always had my back and I always had yours. There's so many things I want to say to you and I wish I could hold your hand and tell you that I love you just one more time.
