Dear Granny

Dear Granny,

It is has been 5 short yet long months since Heaven called you Home. I always knew that Heaven would have a wonderful place awating you, I was just hoping that it would not have been ready so soon for you. Granny I am so happy that I have a lifetime of “Granny memories” that I can reflect on often. However on the other hand, I am sad that we will not be able to make more “Granny memories”. One of the things that I don’t understand is “Why did the world not stand still the day we lost you?” It should have, yet other people and their lives kept right on going.

Almost everything I see, do, read, or think reminds me of you, Granny. For example, a grilled burger, a commerical adversiting Las Vegas, or a new cookbook. Why? Everytime that you joined us when Pete was grilling burgers, it was a given that you told Pete to burn you a burger. Everytime that I saw a Las Vegas commerical, I remember when I told you that Pete and I was flying to Vegas for our anniversary, you said for us to be careful in Sin City. Cookbooks, well it just reminds me of you loving to sit and read a good cookbook. These are just a few of the things that trigger “Granny memories.”

Granny it goes without being said that these past 5 months have been difficult. It would have been alot worse without Paula, Katherine, and Tina. The four of us have become closer in a way that has been a comfort that they will never know how much it means to me. We have talked or emailed more than we ever have. The common demoninator is always you, Granny.

Granny, I tease all the others about being your #1 grandchild, but in reality each of us was your #1 grandchild. How did you manage to do that?

I will always love you in the way that only a grandchild can.

Loving you,

Martha Jane
