Grandma, I know you are with our family, and I thank you so much for all you have done for us. But mostly, I want to thank you for never saying that I wasn't one of your grandchildren, you took me in like no one else has ever, never questioned me or anything, I think of dad, as my real dad, he is all I know, and I wouldn't change that for the world!! I am glad God blessed me to receive such a fantastic grandma like you and I miss you so much, it has been nearly 9 months, and there hasn't been a day gone by that I haven't thought of you! Becoming an RN is hard, but I am doing it, and everyday that I suffer, I know you are proud! I love you and miss you so much <3 See you when my day comes :) I LOVE YOU!!
