But I woke up already knowing that you were finally at rest, with Grandpa and your other family who've left this Earth, too. A new chapter, indeed.
You called me your Angel, but you're mine. I was always proud to have two middle names and consider it an honor even more so now to be carrying it with me through the rest of my life.
I have so many wonderful memories; from childhood, to seeing you at my performances and graduations, to being able to take you to Dr's appointments as an adult and getting you a Taco Salad from T Bell after, the list goes on. We always had to give you a kiss & hug first thing when we got to your house before anything else. I'll miss your strong hugs and the orange lipstick mark on my cheek.
There will never be enough words to convey how much I love Delores Lengyel. She loved Elvis, Judge Judy, Maury, Jerry, and, her beloved Golden Girls. I'll always be blessed with the memories of growing up in her house with my cousin Sean and @vanillabeanman. She loved all us grandchildren so much.
I'm forever grateful to be able to have the opportunity to see her so much this last year of her life as she was beginning to leave us. Even when she was sleeping, knowing I was there with her helped prepare my heart for this moment. It will hurt for a while, but we knew it was coming.
You'll always be My Favorite Golden Girl, Grandma. Say hi to Grandpa for me.
