Dear Zander, Kaden & Addison,
It's been three months since Gram died and I still cannot believe that she is gone. I ache knowing that your memory of her will be limited or possibly non-existent. She loved you so much. And I don't mean just any kind of love I mean the kind of love that is almost impossible to express. She spent just about every hour of every day trying to figure out what to teach you next. She taught you your colors, numbers and shapes before you were even able to speak. Even when she was in pain she would sit with you, read to you, color with you ... it was always about you. She did it in such a way as to not step on my toes as your Mom but to add extra attention and magical moments to your day. I am still trying to figure out the best way to tell you about your grandmother. I am hoping that writing will help. I had always planned to start writing these letters but you were quite a bit of work when you were younger, then Gram got sick and Mom got tired ... so here I am following your 5th birthday trying to write. It's a sleepless night for Mommy. I have the virus that all three of you have gotten over so I can't sleep plus I really, really miss my Mom, your Gram.
Love, Love, Love,
Mom
