Saturday, May 30, 2009. You will be in our hearts and minds forever. You were and are the single greatest women I ever had contact with. Thanks for the summer days at the pool. The 'Pick-A-Pound' candy, the popsicles, the treats, and the goodies. Thank you for all of it. I love you.

I wrote this poem the day we found out she had Cancer..
We just recently found out that my [great] grandmother has liver cancer, and it tears me apart. I called her on the phone today, just to check in. [3-5-09] and she said 'Oh well im hanging in' And we just laughed and talked for a few minutes. Then I thought, isnt it strange how some people quote 'Hate' life, and some are just happy to be alive? *Gramma* Today, the results are in. Our whole world is in for a spin. Cancer, of the liver. The doctors say you could have years to live. Or your life could come to an abrupt end. I need you to know how I feel, right now. I love you till the end of time. Nothing will ever change our bond. Ever since I can remember you were there. No way I can live without you here, By my side always. I love you gramma.
Wednesday June 24th. Its been almost a month, and I cannot belive you're gone. I went to your house today. Me, Mom, Dakota, and Luke. We went swimming. It was the strangest thing. I almost tried walking in the house to say hello to you. I remember no one was ever aloud in the pool unless they came in to give you a kiss. I didnt even cry at the pool. I dont know why. You just werent in my thoughts. I didnt want to cry. I miss you so much sometimes it just gets to be the hardest thing. I wish you were here. =[ Dakotas birthday, June 10th, you werent there to see. You got to see mine, and I thank god every day that I got to see you on my birthday. I will keep that card forever.
I wish you could have stayed, but god put you at peace. Im just torn up inside..
