A letter to my Grandma Start

Dear Grandma,

I just wanted to write you a little something to let you know how much you have meant to me. I think the thing that has always stood out to me most is your strong faith in God. I remember from a young age feeling drawn to you in a special way, I think I could see God shining through you. I loved to sit at the table with you in your home and just listen to you talk about God, you made Him seem so real to me even at a very young age.

I have always felt blessed by your prayers, I know you and Grandpa pray for all of us kids often. I can’t imagine what my life may have been without those prayers. You are both a blessing from God. When I was in Africa I would sometimes think about you and remember that your prayers where with me and it would give me strength just thinking about that. Your prayers have made me a strong believer in God and because of that mine will go on to strengthen Conrad as he grows older.

You have passed your faith and strength in God on to your children and grandchildren.  With God’s help, I will do my best to pass it on to mine too. You have built a wonderful legacy and I hope you can see the fruits of your labor in some of us.

I also have good memories of spending time with you when I was very young. Weather you were watching me alone for an afternoon or with all the other cousins, you always managed to make me feel very special and loved. Playing with me and my dolls and a little stuffed pig that I still have from you, bringing my blanket to me late one night after it had been left behind and I couldn’t sleep without it, and as I became a little older, learning some of your wonderful recipes that have made me what Dan calls “the best cook ever”. I would also like to think that I have your decorating sense, always classic and clean looking.

As time passes and we both have grown older, I hope that my prayers will help to strengthen you. I hope that I have grown not only in years but also in the wisdom you have passed on to me. I hope you can find comfort in the fact that your life has meant so much to me, that because of you, my faith in God is right where it should be and very strong.

I have been blessed with you as my grandma and I just wanted to let you know that. I love you very much and hold you close to my heart.

With love and thankfulness for all that you have been to me, Faith

Grandma with Conrad
