A Granddaughter's Christmas Letter

Dear Grandma Diana,

There are hard years and easy years,

Years full of pain

Years full of love and years full of shame

Years that are radiant with joy

And years that leave their name tattooed on your

shoulder.

There comes a time when some must let go. 

For you, to the warm

For us, to the snow

Some have said the world will end 

That the Lord, Jesus Christ, will come again

Some may burn a birthday card with a promise to the 

Lord

And some rich kid will get a new Ford!

It doesn't matter in the end when you get a bad gift and

we all pretend

To be surprised but still tears swell in our eyes

For the fact that they still remembered so we can't deny

It's Christmas time for family to gather

For love notes to be sent and presents to wrap

To write a hand witten letter to your father

I know that he's gone now, the one that you loved

The one that we cherished and has been sent high above

Don't doubt it I know

By our tree star's glow

That when you hear "Diana!" He'll sneeze and it'll snow

Our gifts may mean nothing a song or a show

But when you feel the true spirit you'll surely know

That God and his son are with you

Out in the snow

We remembered some things you said here and there

And got you some presents to enjoy and to share

We love you so much 

Words can't describe, when you come visit

The way I feel inside!

Sure it may be the food

And it may be the flu

But NEVER forget that 

I LOVE YOU!!!

Merry Christmas!

Love Toni
