she's more
she's my hero

Dear Grandma…

Thank you
thank you for always being there for me
thank you for being someone I can always look to
thank you for humbly laying down your life to raise me
thank you for making it easy to follow you and the example you set
thank you for always pointing me to Christ and reminding me of His truths daily
thank you for being the grandma all my friends love
thank you for encouraging me even when the things I did scared you
thank you for trusting God with my life and surrendering me to Him
thank you for pushing me towards my dreams and not the ones you had for me
thank you for believing in me

Im sorry
im sorry for all the times I made you want to pull out your hair
im sorry for always talking back or “under my breathe”
im sorry for making you cry when I got my first tattoo
im sorry for the times I didn’t respect you and your authority
im sorry for not fully trusting you all the time
im sorry for being ashamed of you at times in the past
im sorry for never cleaning my room when you wanted me too
im sorry for making you stay up late cause you just wanted to make sure I got home safe
im sorry for all the times i forgot to call and tell you I had dinner plans
im sorry for my sucky attitude towards you at times

I Love You
I love the way you love me
I love the way you can back up everything with something Biblical
I love the way you always have the TV turned up way too loud
I love the way you accept me and God’s plan for my life
I love the way you love my friends and always welcome them
I love the way you selflessly cook for me even when you’re tired
I love the way you can always make me laugh with your witty statements
I love the way you always have my best interest at heart
I love the way you are willing to sacrifice anything for me
I love the way you have always loved me, no matter what

I can’t express how much I love you and am so thankful for you. You are truly the best grandma and mother a girl can have. I realized recently how I’m beyond blessed to me able to say I was raised by my grandma. I wouldn’t be the girl I am today without you in my life. Thanks for being my hero.
Happy Mother’s day

love Jessi
