Two Letters

Dear Gramma Margie,

Thank you for being so kind and funny and loving. Thank you for loving me more than just about anyone I've ever known. Thank you for always being proud of me, and for encouraging me in every circumstance. Thank you for always being warm and generous. Thank you for teaching me the importance of loving life and of having opinions and of pepper as a seasoning. Thank you for sharing your life with me. I hope that you knew how much I love you. You will always be missed.


Dear God,

Thank you for my Gramma. Thank you for allowing us to live so close to each other for the last fews years, and for giving me the opportunity to know her and love her better. Thank you that she was able to die peacefully. Thank you for your perfect timing and for your plan, even when I don't understand. Please help me to never take the people I love for granted, and to always remember that each day is a gift.

To Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.
