Because of you.....
I have accomplished so many wonderful things that I never thought I would. One of my paintings still hangs to this day in one of the Art classrooms at NIC. My teacher wanted to use it as an example for new students and I was so proud.
Because of you....
I learned that my shyness was keeping others from hearing what I had to say. That I was just as important as anyone else. It took me a while and although I never became "speaker of the house" I did become a "singer in a rock n roll band"! The first time I had to get on that stage I was hyperventilating but I heard your words Grandma, so I just "let er' rip"!! I did that for five years and those are memories I never thought I would have.
Because of you....
I inherited the "twinkle" in your eyes... and growing up I loved your eyes. They were the most trusting, loving and gentle eyes I have ever known. I am glad that MY grandchildren see the same twinkle in my eyes.
Because of you....
I learned that love, laughter and family is all anyone ever really needs to live their life to it's fullest. All the rest will take care of itself.
Because of you....
I realized that there are Angels that live among us to show us the way in the path of life.... and you were and always will be mine.
I love you Grandma and I'll talk to you later...
