A Letter To My Grandma

My Grandma's birthday is on Wednesday, March 24th. She will be turning 73 years old and to be honest, that scares me to death. To think that my grandma, my sole confidant, my partner in crime, the person who I've come to know as my everything, is turning one year older. And as we grow older, the years we have left are dwindling. For those of you who don't know, my grandma basically raised me. My family has always lived close to her. I don't think there has been a day in my life (besides college) that i hadn't seen my grandmother. And I am grateful for that. I lived with her for 7 years and those were the best seven years of my life. We spent basically every waking hour together.

So this is my letter to my grandma for her 73rd birthday.

Dear Grandma,

Your birthday is here! 73 years old, I know you didn't need me to remind you, or maybe you forgot since you stopped counting. I just wanted to let you know how much I love you. We have always been close and I feel like I am the most privileged person in the world because of my closeness with you. No one in the world means as much as you do to me. You are my everything, grandma. I can tell you anything, we can have conversations about anything and everything. We are so much alike and I feel like I've learned so many of my best traits and skills from you. You are an amazing grandma and you do so much for me. I love you for that and I feel blessed for you to be my grandmother. I couldn't have asked for a better one. Okay, I'm crying so hard right now. I hope the remainder that we have together will be just as great as what we have had already. I know that I wouldn't want it any other way.

I love you always and forever,
Your grandson,
Nathan
