I know this is late but I was thinking about grandma. I remember that day Vividly. I woke up and I prepared for a long day at work knowing I had closing shift. I was excited to watch the ball drop with my boyfriend later that night when I got off. At closing I said goodbye to my Manager Keven and got picked up by Joey. I felt like something was off since he was giving very vague answers. When I got home my mom pulled me into her room and told me. I´m sad grandma can´t see me graduate highschool early. I´m sad I can´t tell her the college I get accepted in. I´m sad I can´t go over to her house and eat some of the cookies she had baked. I miss her so much every day. No New Year´s Eve will ever be the same. I hope she is happy where she is and one day I hope to see my grandma again. That last photo I ever took with her(second one she was wearing a blue shirt) when they gave me my Christmas present I will cherish forever

To my beloved mother in law, your smile and sense of humor will be missed but never forgotten. One thing you always said to me was when my mom passed that you will always have a mom in me. I will always cherish that from you.
I love and will miss you mom
