One Last Letter

Dear Grandma,

As you are lying there fading away I can only hope you are comfortable, pain free and at peace. It is with tears in my eyes I must say some things that perhaps should have been said long ago. I have long held animosity in my heart towards mom for taking me away from my family when I was 9. My sense of family was disrupted and has yet to be whole. You were the centerpoint for that family and I always looked forward to spending time with you. Over the years we kept in touch but to be honest it was not enough. Even when we did see each other I was always left wanting more of you. You were and always have been one of the greatest women in my life. I am truely honored to have had you in my life regardless of the distance between us. Please know that you will be missed and you will live on in my heart. Know that we shall meet again in the Kingdom of Heaven and we will rejoice one another. As the end draws near one last time I must tell you that I love you and I only hope you know how much you mean to me.

Goodbye Grandma, I will miss you!

Love,

Michael
