Jane,
I am writing you this letter, and it is much overdue. Having refused to admit that you might be gone before I was ready I never truly told you all the things you deserved to hear from me. So here it goes:
You were more than just my grandmother, you were my best friend. You showed me what it meant to be unconditionally loved, and how to return that love. You guided me to experience Christ's enduring love, a love that provided refuge when my heart was broken from losing you.
When I was four years old you my life was forever changed. In the time that my parents were fighting through rough divorce you stepped up and offered daily consistency in my life, that was much needed. You never tried to replace my mother or father in my life, you just were always there as a calming presence in the hurricane that my younger days seemed to be to me when trying to deal with being the child of divorce.
Thank you so very much. Those words do not convey the appreciation I have in my heart for you and all you did for me. There is not a single day that passes that I do not use something you taught me or reflect upon fond memories of out time together (usually both).
I am sorry. Sorry that I never stopped to tell you these things to your face. I was too busy denying that you might not be around for forever that I missed the opportunity to say them.
I miss you more than I can put into words granny. Thank you so much for loving a knuckleheaded little boy.
I love you
Matt
