Dear Great Grandmother, 

This year is a big year for me, but I am in so much pain. On February 19th, it will be 5 years to the day that you passed away. I miss you so much and wish I could have had more time with you, because I was only 12 years when you passed away. It is so hard to imagine a 12-year-old could feel so much pain. We had our difficulties with me being a kid thinking I know everything, and now that I am 17, I miss how you used to put me in my place. Grandma, I still remember that as if the worst day of my life were yesterday. I hope you know I love you more and more every single day, and that even though you are gone our love for you is still strong. You were the glue to our family because when you left it felt like we all went astray. I would do anything for just one more day, because when you left, I was not ready. This might sound selfish, but I did not want you to go away. But I am glad you do not have to go through dialysis only more and you will no longer be sore. Remember, I love you and miss you so much that even words cannot contain, and I am really looking forward to seeing you again one day.
