I wrote this friday night before the funneral. I wasn't going to read it at the funneral but I. After the funneral I got my last letter from my grandmother. It had the last dollar she will ever send me. Everything I look in my mailbox I am hoping there will be a letter from her. Even though I know there won't be. I will miss her! My grandmother She was a thoughtful person. She put others before herself. She always put a smile on my face. Even when I was having a bad day. I like doing the little things with her. Taking her food shopping, was one of my favorite things to do Everytime I went with her, She would make sure "my boyfriend" (Jason) was working. I think she thought every male was my boyfriend. I remember Grammy Corkey and Pop-Pop, Taking me to the five and dime store. If feels like just yesterday we were there. I remember sitting on her bed when I was a little girl, Going through her jewelry and trying to untangle it. Yesterday, I went through her jewelry one last time. To my surprise I found a bracelet, I had made for her many years ago. I was surprised to find that she had kept it. Along with that, she kept my artwork, Haning on her wall from forth grade. Everything she did meant so much to me. She was a great woman, with a big heart. Thursday (September 13, 2001) My sister and my mother, Came to "surprise" me at school. They told me that Grammy Corkey died. I cried and cried and cried. That night I couldn't sleep. I thought about how much I would miss her How much I love her, How little I did for her, But yet how much it meant to her. It's hard for me to say good bye to Grammy Corkey But I know she's better off in heaven/ She is with my Pop-Pop now. And I know she is happy to be with him. I know she missed him when he died. But I know she's smiling down on me now. I will miss her greatly. But I will also look back on the memories I had with her, And smile because that's all I can do when I think of her. |
