You will be in our hearts and minds forever. You were and are the single greatest women I ever had contact with.
Thanks for the summer days at the pool.
The 'Pick-A-Pound' candy, the popsicles, the treats, and the goodies.
Thank you for all of it.
I love you.

I wrote this poem the day we found out she had Cancer..

We just recently found out that my [great] grandmother has liver cancer, and it tears me apart. I called her on the phone today, just to check in. [3-5-09] and she said 'Oh well im hanging in' And we just laughed and talked for a few minutes. Then I thought, isnt it strange how some people quote 'Hate' life, and some are just happy to be alive?
*Gramma*
Today, the results are in.
Our whole world is in for a spin.
Cancer, of the liver.
The doctors say you could have years to live.
Or your life could come to an abrupt end.
I need you to know how I feel, right now.
I love you till the end of time.
Nothing will ever change our bond.
Ever since I can remember you were there.
No way I can live without you here,
By my side always.
I love you gramma.


Wednesday June 24th.
Its been almost a month, and I cannot belive you're gone. I went to your house today. Me, Mom, Dakota, and Luke. We went swimming. It was the strangest thing. I almost tried walking in the house to say hello to you. I remember no one was ever aloud in the pool unless they came in to give you a kiss. I didnt even cry at the pool. I dont know why. You just werent in my thoughts. I didnt want to cry. I miss you so much sometimes it just gets to be the hardest thing. I wish you were here. =[ Dakotas birthday, June 10th, you werent there to see. You got to see mine, and I thank god every day that I got to see you on my birthday. I will keep that card forever.

I wish you could have stayed, but god put you at peace.
Im just torn up inside..
