Dear Grandma,

It has been 2 1/2 long years since I've seen you. I can't remember a day that goes by without you somehow popping into my mind. I can't count how many situations that have happened where I end up saying "If Grandma was here...". I know you're there shaking your head at the madness that has recently happened. I know for sure you would make your opinion LOUD and CLEAR. That's why I love you.
I'm almost done nursing school now and I know that you are probably even more happy than I am at how close I am to being a nurse. Even though you won't be able to visit the hospital and look for "Nurse Hughes" like you always said...I know you'll always be there watching me, ready to cuss any patient that treats me badly.
As you can see I have a boyfriend now. He came to me just 2 months after you left. Almost like he was there to pick up the pieces and to help fill the void that had been lost. I wish you were here just so you could give him a hard time and love him like your own..because I know you would.
I don't think I have ever missed anyone as much as I miss you and my greatest wish in the world is to have just one more day or hour to spend with you. I fear that one day that I might forget your voice or laugh. Until then I will always listen to your voice in my head encouraging constantly.

I miss you and love you with all my heart.
