See you later

Dear Grandma,

I always knew this day would come. I thought I was ready, but the closer we got the less and less ready I was. I know that is so selfish, but the more time went by the more time I wanted with you. I know it couldn’t have been easy to let me into your world. You were so independent for so long. I know we had our ups and downs, but in the end I know we were both happy.

Thank you for teaching me to be strong and never quit. You are the strongest person I know. You fought so hard for so long and defied doctors and statistics. I want someday to have your fighting spirit. Thank you for never ever giving up.

Know that we will love you forever. The hard days will come and go, but your memory will last forever.  I can’t wait to tell my children and husband about you someday. Thank you for being the glue that held our family together.

It was an honor to hold your hand as you entered heaven. As you breathed your last breath I had an overwhelming sense of peace. You no longer have cancer…you are walking without your walker. You are with paw paw and Kristen. What a joy you must be feeling.

I refuse to say goodbye. I will only say see you later. You will always be with me in my heart.

I love you always and forever.
