Tribute from “Granny”
*The feelings are unreal* The feelings will always feel unreal We knew this day was coming, but still the feelings is unreal. I was unprepared mentally and physically for a short deport but still the feelings is unreal, I know for a fact that your beautiful smile and sprit will always be with me! But still the feelings are unreal nobody in this world will understand the pain and suffering you went through and never did you complain you was so strong for a long time, but still the feelings is unreal, I know God gives his strongest and toughest battle's to his brightest soldiers. Even though the feelings are unreal, I think God you was a huge part of my life. I find peace knowing that you are no longer suffering. I love you now and forever. Even though the feelings are unreal and today is the last day I will see you in flesh, I know I always have you in my heart and your spirits always around, fly high baby girl until we meet again love always.
…and to my baby, sleep on and take your rest
Love, Granny and Paw Paw
