An Open Letter to My Grandmother

While I know you will never physically see this, I hope that some how, you'll know about this article, and be able to know what it says, and to know how much I miss you. I know that everyone says that their grandmother is/was the greatest. But you, you were the epitome of what an amazing grandmother(Mummy) was.

I've always felt that my inner extrovert personality is like you. You were opinionated, stubborn, and at times difficult, but you were also by far, the most compassionate and generous person I ever knew. I'm equally as opinionated, and stubborn about things. And like you, I stand up for what I believe in, and for these traits, I'm thankful.

I think the relationships that grandparents have with their grandchildren is always so different than the relationship children have with their parents, at least, this is how it was for me. I'm so incredibly grateful for the bond that we had, and the closeness we had, especially the frankness that I shared with you during my growing days has helped me immensely to become a sorted individual.
Fighting with the world of diseases and still able to overcome it each and every day and the outrageous willpower that you possessed. I am still trying hard to assimilate all this but I have a long distance to cover.
When you died, I took it so hard, it was the hardest thing to happen in my adult life, and while I'm an emotional person, I took your passing the hardest time of my life. I think it's because, for the first time in my adult life, someone who meant so much too me was gone. I didn't realize how much you meant to me until you were gone.

I'm sorry you won't be at my wedding, if I ever get married. I'm sorry I'll never hear your hilarious stories, and I'm sorry I wasn't able too see you one last time or to tell you I love you one last time.

So to you Mummy, I say thank you. Thank You for being the incredible woman you were, I'm so thankful too have had the relationship we did and while I'm better since you passed, and it's been a little over a year, it's still hard. But I know, you're always there, and you'll always guide me and protect me.

Love your ever grateful grandson.
