 You are gone, but deeply remembered
You are more alive in me now, 
More than ever
The empty feeling in my chest
And the lump in my throat make your wishes of being happy for you so hard
Your smell, your sent is still in the air
How I wish this wasn't so
How I wish this isn't the end
At night I ask God, why
Why did you have to go
If only I knew we hadn't had much more time
I'd love you like it was the last time
 ~ Anastasia

 I remember being a child wiggling in my bed full of excitmenet when you would spend the night
I looked forward to going over to see you at home in duatre
You always had strawberries and gifts waiting for me
I'll always treasure your apricot tree story, how you'd clime it as a child with a salt shaker and stay there until night, because you knew when you came down you were gonna get it 
I'd always ask to hear that story
My heart would feel so warm and it is my favorite story ever
It was so peaceful on those lazy afternoons to watch little house on the prairie with you, I wish we can do it again
I took pride and honor in saying that my grandma was an Indian, a native american and how I am too
You were the strongest woman I've ever known
Never crying, like a warrior
You taught me to be strong at a very young age
Even then I saw how you always held it together
You were everything a woman should be, sassy, witty, strong, funny, and beautiful
Always ready, with your mug on as you would say, even if you didn't plan to leave the house
I'll always admire your strength and your style
I'll always remember your salsa and how I would sometimes whine that it was too hot 
And how everyone wanted some of grandma's salsa
I'll always remember your sent, your far away perfume and how it would linger on me after a visit
You smell like your grandma's they would say
You are the definition of the cool grandma 
My heart hurts now, but it is a comfort to know that you aren't suffering here anymore
You've stayed your stay
And I know that I will see you again,
I look forward to it
Rest in peace sounds like such a cliche, but with you, I've truly come to acknowledge the meaning, so rest in peace grandma
Until we meet again, you will forever remain in my heart, I love you
 ~ Anastasia

I'm sorry I couldn't find the words....                                   When they said "goodbye" to you.                                                  It's something I can't say.               It's something I'll never do.         I'll say"I'll see you Mom" ,or I'll say for now...."so long".                   Thank you for your lessons taught....                                           Most of all "how to be strong".   Someday We'll Meet in Heaven.      When, only time will tell.                  Rest in peace now my Mother.               Until I join you....Fairwell
