To my beautiful grandmother, My heart is broken. I will be forever grateful that I got a chance to spend your last few days on this earth with you. I was there even as you took your last breath. We went on this journey together until the angels came to meet you. Although you are not here in the physical you will forever be apart of me. Until we meet again my love. Love you always, Your granddaughter Kareta
