An email popped up and to my surprise is was about my grandma. It's been 9 years since we lost you and not a day goes by where we don't think of you and grandpa. I often wonder what you guys are doing up there, did you walk with me down the aisle when I married steve? Do you see how great of a kid carlee is? Did you see all the accomplishments G has made? He's such a hard working good kid! You'd be really proud! Our hearts still hurts knowing we can't physically hug you, call you and tell you we love you and grandpa. I hope you hear us say we miss you, we love you and please come visit! We are truly blessed to have all the memories we've created, all the photos we have! We will continue to hold you in our hearts, and talk about all the funny moments we had. Love you!

To MY LIL' Mama.

Mom, where are you
I can't see you any more
I don't know what to do
I feel so insecure.

You were always there
To mend my every pain
Broken hearts and despair
And bruises all the same.

Thought I knew sadness
I never had a clue
My pain close to madness
Now that I lost you.

Not a day goes by
You're not on my mind
On this you can rely
I'll love you for all time.

You will always be a big part of my life. Love you with all my being and miss you even more. Proud to be your Daughter. Patti
