Hi Grandma.


Hi Grandma.

How've you been?

I'm fine. I'm a little broken and lonely, but fine on the edges.

Grandpa misses you, Grandma.

I know because he's lost some of his sparkle,

but he's getting by just fine too.

I miss you, Grandma.

 

Hi Grandma.

I'm graduating soon, Grandma.

Mother has ironed my cap and gown.

I have my pearls set out.

I'll be watching for you in the crowd, Grandma.

I know I won't see you but that's okay.

I miss you, Grandma.

 

Hi Grandma.

I'm getting married, Grandma.

He's so good to me,

did you send him?

I'm sad you won't be there to see me.

I'll look like an angel, like you, Grandma.

I miss you, Grandma.

 

Hi Grandma.

There's a new small wonder in my arms.

He has your eyes.

I know you would've loved him, Grandma.

I'm taking good care of him, like you cared for me.

I miss you, Grandma.

 

Hi Grandma.

I haven't written in a while.

Lifes been hetc, Grandma.

there is so much to do and not enough time to do it.

I don't know how you managed, Grandma,

with so many children.

But I have your strength.

I miss you, Grandma.

 

Hi Grandma.

I'm so happy to see you.

You look even more beautiful than I remember.

It's been so many years, Grandma.

I can't wait to meet God,

Will you introduce us?

I love you, Grandma, let's stay here forever.
