Mommom,
I wish you were still here. There's so much I could say to you. I feel a special closeness to you being the oldest granddaughter. The older you get, the more you realize how important your family is. It wasn't until after you didn't know me anymore that I realized you were the one that taught me how to give. I will never forget those Christmas shopping trips. Every time I wrap a gift I think of you. I feel like I never told you how much you meant to me. I wish I knew if you really heard me say goodbye. You always made me feel like I was the most beautiful girl on this planet. At every dance recital you made me feel like I was the star of the entire show. I can't even imagine what you'd have said on my wedding day if you had been OK then. I wish you didn't have to suffer through that awful disease. I know you are finally at peace after fighting it for way too long. And somewhere up in Heaven you know me again. I'll remember every dixie cup, every time you helped me spell a word on my homework (because you were the best at spelling!), every Easter basket, every time you taught us to make the bed, the orange slice candies, a soda in our hand the minute we walked through the door, and setting up the trays in front of us while we sat on the couch waiting for Grandfather's pizza. I'll keep every memory close to my heart forever. I love you and miss you Mommom.
