Today you've been gone for 4 months (Jan.13).
This is probably your last photo… It was in June. Who knew that in less than 3 months you wouldn't be with us anymore?
You gave me your wedding bands, so I think about you everyday, because my right hand is a constant reminder (I look at my hands a lot).
I often think about what I would say to you if you were still here, and could understand again. Maybe in heaven you can hear peoples thoughts? I would say that I'm sorry for the time I was playing on the roof and scared you. I would say that I'm sorry I was embarrassed when you would do my hair in kindergarten and it was too loose and it didn't look like the other girls pony tails so I would take it out as soon you dropped me off at school. I would say I'm sorry for being embarrassed about the time when you drove me entirely through my elementary school grounds. I was in Gr. 6 and distinctly remember
ducking so no one would see me.
I would say I'm sorry for not staying with you until your final breath.
I can think of way more to be sorry for,
but I would also say Thank you.
Thank you for being so gentle when you brushed my hair, and put it up in a pony. That's why it was so loose. I have baby head. I would say thank you for bringing me cinnamon buns after you caught me playing on the roof. I would say thank you for driving me to school in Gr. 6 when I was more than capable of walking the 15 minutes. I would say thank you for recognizing me in your home during your last days when you knew few others. I would say thank you for teaching me how to knit (I can't remember now. I'll learn again, and that way when people ask me "Where did you learn to knit?" I can say that my Grandma taught me). Thank you for teaching me how to make bread and pies (I'm still learning on the bread thing, but Aunt Sheila said you would be proud of the pies I make). Thank you for giving me your wedding rings. Thank you for making me a quilt, and my blankie. Thank you for your example, and your heritage. Thank you for writing everything down
(Don't worry, we all forget things).
I miss you Grandma, I wish you were here.
I want to talk to you, and eat good porridge.
"See you later"
