Ten years have passed since you left us, and the ache in my heart feels as fresh as the day you slipped away. It was the day I lost not just my beloved grandmother, but the anchor that held our fractured family together.
You were the lighthouse in our storm, the one who listened to my tearful whispers at midnight, a shoulder to cry on when I missed Mom and Dad more than words could express.
School was a constant struggle, but you always saw past the grades and understood the silent pain within me. You nurtured a love for learning, a quiet belief that I could achieve anything I set my mind to. You championed my dreams, whispering encouragement when doubt threatened to swallow me whole.
My biggest regret is leaving the words unspoken. I never got to tell you just how much your love meant to me. How you made me feel safe, cherished, and like I could conquer anything. This letter, filled with tear-stained words, is a testament to the love that still flows freely.
Life hasn’t been easy, Grandma. There are moments when the weight of the world feels unbearable, and the only solace I crave is your warm embrace. But even in those dark times, I remember your unwavering faith in me.
So, here I am, Grandma, in university, a testament to your unwavering love and unwavering belief. I know you’d be proud. I may not always feel it, but a part of you lives on in me, fueling my strength and guiding me towards a brighter future.
With all the love that words can’t express,
Your Grandchild, Love.
