To My Darling Grandbabies,
I want nothing left unsaid. As much I would love to be in your life as long as you live, that isn't possible. It isn't how the generations work.
With only so much time to tell you all I want you to know, only so much time to share what I have learned, so this letter.
To my darling HK, it is okay to be a tomboy, to dress however you want. To be unapologetically yourself. Keep your own style, my love. Whether you want to play softball or design clothes, or both, do you.
To my bonus granddaughter, GG, it is alright to be a girly girl who loves wrestling. To know the name of every member of the WWE and every Taylor Swift song. Keep your individuality. Stey stubborn. It will serve you well.
To my baby VMA, I pray you keep your love for dance and music. That you will grow to have the amazing qualities of the two great-grandma’s you are named after. You have so much to say that you can't get your sentences out. Keep talking, baby girl. The world needs what you have to tell it.
To my grandson, EK, I don't know you. Not in the way that I know your cousins. For that I apologize. To you, I pray that all the mistakes your parents made will be the ones you avoid. May all your dreams come true.
For all you and any that may come after. For your children and theirs, my biggest hope for you is that one day, in His time, we will meet again in heaven.
Always know that your grandma loves you with all that is in her. Everyday that I have spent with you is a blessing. Everyday that I will miss with you I will mourn.
Know that once I am gone, my prayers will continue to cover you.
With all my love
Grandma.
