“You can only have one mother, patient, kind and true, no other friend in all the world, will be the same to you” I wish I could wrap my arms around you and tell you one more time “we’ll get through just another bump in the road”. But that would be selfish of me. I know in my heart you were ready this time. I look into the sky just to see your smile, I listen to the silence to hear your laughter, You’re in my heart where you’ll stay forever. You fly with the angles now but part of you will always be with us. GOD SPEED MOM!!
Were gonna miss you, grams. But knowing you are at peace is what makes a smile and eventually move foward. We love you grams! And you are truly missed. No one can replace a grandmothers love.
