Letter from Grandma

Dear Baby,

It makes my heart hurt so much that you won't even know your Grandma Becky while you're here on Earth, but I hope I can do my very best to help you know how great of a person she was and how important she is to me.

Grandma Becky was kind and always tried to take care of others.  She was such an example to me of service and was always trying to help those around her with anything they needed.  She was so good at taking meals to people, chatting with them when they were sad, and checking in on them when they were needing some extra love.

Grandma Becky was always up for an adventure!  She would go on any crazy outing we invited her even if it was at the last minute.  She never wanted to miss a moment of fun or time spent with her family.  We went camping, on a cruise, to Disneyland, to St. George, to see the solar eclipse, she visited us when we lived in Oregon (two times!), and so many other adventures!

She loved going on a trip or adventure, but it didn't have to be anything too crazy or extravagant for her to have a good time.  Because of her life circumstances and living by herself, we spent a lot of time with Grandma Becky, which will always be so special to me.  She would come over for dinner at least a few times every month, usually when I had accidentally made too much for dinner and we needed a little help to eat it all.  She loved spending time with Ari and Charlie and watching them while Dad and I went on a date or just inviting them over on a Summer day to play in the pool and have treats.  We would usually go to the pool in the summer time once every week or two, have lunch in the park, go to the dam, go for walks with Zoey, or just hang out while Ari and Charlie played outside.  She loved having ice cream or any treat.  She loved going to Edith's and out to eat in general.  It's all of these little things that I will miss the very most.

I'm so very sad that you won't know Grandma Becky here, but I want you to know how special I know you are to her.  Although you may not physically know her, I hope you will know that she will always be there for you when you need help and loves you so much and wants the very best for you.

Love,

Mom
