Happy Birthday Gramma
It’s been over five years. I should’ve been there for you more often and for that I am sorry. Since you’ve been gone, I’ve gotten married, built a house, got a new pup, finished my masters, gone through a couple of jobs, and pondered heavily going into business for myself.
My wife is the most beautiful and caring women in the world. I only wish she could have met you. I know you’ve met her. She’d love to have met you.
Maybe in the daytime you could swing by the house and tell the pup to stop tearing up the yard. You’d like him too, though he’s a bit rambunctious. I’m sure you’d love our house too and visit anytime you want.
The rest of the family is doing great and we’re all getting ready for Christmas, which I now is your favorite time of year. My wife put the Christmas tree up way early, just like you used to do. I won’t let her keep hers around until March though. We’ll definitely miss you at Christmas again.
Since I moved to the new house, I drive by your grave on my way to work every day. I’m sorry I haven’t stopped by there since you’ve been gone but it’s more than I can handle and I hope you can forgive me. I’ll try to stop by on Christmas. Please forgive me.
You were one of a kind!
