I keep waiting for you to come through the door. Smiling. Making a comment on the weather, or talk about your tree, a plant, something you read or something a grand kid did today. Your conversations were always amusing and fun to listen to. I didn't know the last one was the last one- I wish I would have listened closer, stayed longer, told you I loved you. I do, so much, and miss you so! Please know, that I was proud to be your daughter and I will try to continue making you proud with your grandchildren. Be at peace, Godspeed.
