I can remember when I was younger, all I wanted to do was be a grown up. Now that I’m a grown up, all I want to do is be little again. Somewhere between now and then, life happened, and I find myself in my late twenties trying to figure everything out. Considering everything, I am pretty proud of the fact that I have made a life for myself and I’m staying afloat. I couldn’t be who I am today without your unconditional love and support. I know there have been times when you have been concerned if I was making the right decision. There are still times when I even ask myself, “What did I get myself into?” But all in all, you have ALWAYS been there for me and have been my biggest cheerleader through it all. You always believe in me when I find it hard to believe in myself. Your encouragement and ability to make me smile up when I’m feeling down is truly a gift, and always appreciated.
One of the many things I have learned from you throughout the years is your love for your family and your generosity that stems from that love. Though we are not perfect and each of us has our flaws, your love, loyalty, and generosity to each and every family member is something to admire. I know I am still “Young” and have plenty of time to start a family but each year I am getting older, the more I am yearning to start a family of my own. My childhood memories up at the Farm and Holiday traditions are ones that I will treasure for a lifetime. I truly hope someday when I start a family of my own that those traditions will still be alive and new memories will be made. It is because of you and Mom that I value tradition and hope that it will be something we can continue to share for years to come.
I don’t say it nearly enough but I love you Grandma, more than words could ever fully express. You are my world, my heart, my everything. You will forever and always be my "Grandma Sweetie."
