Dearest Momma,

Now we have to orbited around the Sun exzactly one more time since your passing there are so many things I want to say to you the things that
were unspoken I want to express my unwavering gratitude and love for you. Firstly, From my earliest memories thank you for being my source
of strength and support you had always been there guiding me with your wisdom. your unwavering belief in me when things didn,t pan out you
would say it was a sign there were so many signs i missed up till now no doubt i'le miss many more in the future I remember the countless
nights you stayed up with me exzausted from your jobs when I was sick and couldn,t breave with my asthma You were my first teacher,showing
me the importance of being truthful and polite never be mean to others less fortunite than myself try my best and always do the right thing even
if its dosn't feel right Your sacrifices have not gone unnoticed, how you´ve put your own needs aside countless times and made sure that my
siblings and I had everything we needed to the best of your ability even when things were rough for you at times you still managed to keep a
smile on your face You taught me that you don´t need a lot of money and things to be happy Your selflessness has been a guiding light for me,
teaching me the true meaning of love and dedication. I have come to realize more and more how much you´ve shaped my life I am who I am
today because of you Momma.

Hello my Nana, Bub here!

Thinking of you today as I do often. It's almost been a year since your passing but it still feels like yesterday
I often see butterfly's and just like our conversation, I take that as a sign that you are here.
I hope wherever you are, you are happy, you are pain free and you are enjoying some sunshine blissfully aware of how loved and missed you truly are.
I cherish all the memories we share and Im sad that in this lifetime we won't share anymore.
Until I see you again Nana, keep the jug warm, I'll bring some fresh scones and we can laugh and cry and catch up on all the things we have missed, just as we used too.


Love always, your grand daughter Kimmy (bub).
