Blessing in disguise

January 4, 2018

Dear my beloved grandmother,

You were the most influential person in my life,

However you are no longer with us.

It was a blessing in disguise the gift you left me.

You led me to find my true self.

I spent countless hours at the nursing home,

Striking up conversation with the residents.

Laughing and smiling with them.

Quickly I realized my true passion,

The elderly.

I did not know you were going to leave me a gift,

My future career.

Our hearts mourn to this day.

But, when I go to classes everyday,

You are always with me,

Because you led me to find my passion.

I see you a little bit in every resident I interact with.

I know you will always be supporting me,

Even if you are not physically with us.

Love,

Tayler
