11 years ago today I received a phone call that would change my life and my family's life forever. It seems like it was just yesterday. The world froze for a minute an eternity. I just sat there, stewing in those words, "Grandma passed away this morning." I could not believe what I was hearing, nor did I want to.

I don't think it will ever matter how much time passes, I still have to hold back tears and swallow that lump in my throat. She was the glue that held us together. She was the one that made me believe in the Christmas spirit. She was the one who would leave us each half a banana for breakfast if she had to go into work when we stayed over. She meant the world to us. Grandma, you are always in my heart and on my mind. I can't even begin to tell you how much I miss and love you.
