Grandmother, I wish I would have met you when I was younger to share my childhood. 
I know you would have loved me very much, just as I would. 
I was too small to remember when God decided to take you. 
You would have taken me shopping to buy me clothes, shoes and everything new. 
We would have gone to the mall. 
Held my hand and not let me fall. 
I've heard so much about you and how caring and loving you were. 
You would have held me tightly and hugged me like I was a big ball of fur. 
You would have let me watch you while you cooked your special meals. 
For my Birthday, you would have brought me a bicycle with big shiny wheels. 
I wish I could see you to give you a big hug. 
And lots of Hot chocolate with marshmallows in your special mug. 
I love you Grandmother, so very very much. 
I want to hold your hand and feel your loving touch.
