G-pa, today we went outside and played in the backyard. As I was pushing Landyn on the swing I took a deep breath. Both in sadness and happiness.

Sad that you won't be here to see Landyn grow up.... and happy that you're no longer suffering.

The past month is one I won't forget. I was supposed to go to work on the 20th of March. The same day you passed away; (the 18th) I was told our lobby had closed and I wouldn't be working until it opens again.

That's ok. It gave me time to grieve you... but also.... I feel sad. I'm sad that we have to wait to give you a celebration of life. But I also understand why.

What a year it's been already. I miss your voice and your endless stories. Stories I've heard so many times that I could tell them. My favorite one is about your first date with GG.

One month without you already feels like a lifetime. Tonight I am missing you. And that's ok. Please rest easy and know we're ok.

Your bonus granddaughter, Alexis.
