If I Could Tell You . . .

Letter To A Loved One Slowly Fading Away by TRTCreations

Dear Grandma,

I know I don’t say it enough, but I love you more than you’ll ever know…

You made such an ever-lasting impact on our lives. You were always there for us, whether you were invited or not. And for that, I am forever grateful.

I miss the days when you’d come in unannounced, and I’d hear your loud, but yet lovely voice, telling my dad how to do things better, with him obviously annoyed, but at the same time enjoying your company.

I miss the early days when you would babysit, my brother and I, when our parents were both at work.

I miss the days you were trying to help me switch to drinking from a bottle and had to get my brother to help because I didn’t yet know who you were, but trusted him.

I miss the days when you tricked me into not using a pacifier anymore. You successfully cut the tips off of them and left them in the drawer that I used to grab them from, knowing that I would grab each one, begin trying each one, exclaiming, “Don’t work — spit out old, try another- Don’t work” until there were none left to try. Boom, pacifier phase, done.

I miss the days when I’d wake up to the smell of cookies sending its aroma up the stairs to my bedroom.

I miss the days I’d wake up to you making my bed while I was still in it, forcing me to get up and then yelling at me for making wrinkles on what you just fixed.

I missed the days after you got your Gastric Bypass surgery, and were gifted with, what you called ‘Grandma Wings’ and my Brother and I would try to help make you fly by moving them back and forth.

I miss the days we’d make you drawings of yourself and you’d hang them in picture-frames.

I miss the days you’d join in on the shenanigans my brother, and I, and even the neighborhood kids would get involved in. You always remained a kid at heart, even though you still made time to watch ‘Judge Judy’, you always wanted to prove ‘you still got it’ and could keep up with us. I’ve got to admit, you definitely succeeded with that. From playing Barbie’s, to playing outside, to playing Hide n Seek, to chasing us even when you had knee surgery and…
