My beautiful,sweet grandmother,I cherish your memory often with to tears and deep belly laughs.So young was I,and we hardly had time to get to known each other.What I do know,is that you were strong,proud,and brave.You have my mom the strength to go through many terrible relationships,endure many hardships,and raise three beautiful children.Thanks to you,my mother is my biggest hero,and my best friend.We speak often,you and I.I feel your presence all the time.I feel your hand on my shoulder,hear your whispers.I am glad we are able to talk even though you are spirit.I hope to one day be as sweet,loving,and wise as you.Wakan Tanka nici Un,Mammaw.
