Dear Grandma A

Dear Grandma A,
I know you'd probably make a fuss that you weren't written to sooner, but as I've said before it's difficult to just pick one person a day to write to when you have so many that you appreciate and want to write to all at the same time. So now is your time :)
I'm so thankful that I have someone who can talk with me and relate with me with what I'm going through physically right now. The diagnosis process is taking a long time and it's been quite a struggle, but having someone such as yourself and grandpa has really helped me focus on the fact that something will happen and things will get better. At least I'm really hoping that things will get a bit better. Anything will be better at this point. But thank you for the phone calls for asking how I am and how things are going. I really do appreciate it.
I also appreciate everything else you've done for me. I think while growing up kids don't realize how precious grandparents really are. I look at my friends who don't have their grandparents around anymore and I feel bad for them. I'm so grateful to have both sets of my grandparents with me and still doing so well. I'm also thankful that you and grandpa are still together and have been together for so long. You've raised such a wonderful and close family that I can't imagine living without. You and grandpa have kept us all so close together and I want to thank you so much for that. Through your relationship with everyone in our family I've learned the importance of keeping close ties with family members and even friends. Relationships are so important to the well being of anyone and I'm happy for ours.
I hope 2014 is a good year for you. I can't believe I might not see you for a whole year. That seems so weird to me. I hope I can come back for a visit. I think a year is too long for me to handle being away from this beautiful province and my friends and mostly my family. I'll miss you a ton, but will keep in touch through skype or phone.
Love you.
Sincerely,
Yvette
