Dear Nana,
I already miss you. I already miss your cheerful smile. I miss everything about you. I will never forget the few memories I had with you, and my great pride to recently stand with you in my uniform as an accomplished soldier, raised and believed in, by you and Grandad. I remember playing in your house as a kid. I have wonderful memories which will stick with me the rest of my life, and some stories to pass to my own children and grandchildren in the future. I have you to thank for them. You lived a long, full life, gave me the chance of memories, which I had with you.
Now, it may seem like everything is okay, but it’s definitely not okay. Only lastnight I wish I could have felt the pain and sadness that my dad conveyed on the phone, the hurt in his speech and the dreaded silence between words. I wish I was there to comfort him, but more so, to comfort you in your last moments - alas I know Dad was there. When I started writing this I began to feel sadness sweep over me again. I began to remember. I remembered things I hadn’t thought about in years. I have so many things to be thankful for and one of them is my grandmother. She had a special place in my heart, and will always reside their no matter what.
May you rest in derserved peace Nana, my prayers and thoughts go with you and thank you for the fond memories.
Love you, your grandson, John Kieron.
