My Grandmother:
My Grandmother meant the world to me. There is not a
memory I have that doesn't have her in it. From giving me anything I wanted
to riding my go cart with me as a child. I miss her more than anyone will every
know. But then again I know I'll see her again someday. She will be waiting on
me when my time comes. I know that she is watching over me as I type this.
There was not a better lady on the face of this earth. In the 30 years I knew her I
never heard her say a harsh or mean word about anyone. She was always happy and was
one of the best role models anyone could ask for. I Love You Granny and I will never
forget you.
