dear lola...
where do i begin? there is so much i wanted to let you know but i guess i will have to say it here. thank you for making me the woman i have become today. because of you, i have learned everything. everything you have taught me i keep inside. from learning how to cook rice to washing dishes to being a strong independent woman. i will hold onto all the memories and you will live on forever in my heart. i love you and may you have eternal rest and peace.
love your "favorite" granddaughter,
len-len

life is too short. we often take for granted the things we have, especially the people we love the most. i find myself often guilty of this. now, i must live with the regret and pain that i "shoulda coulda woulda" and this time i am too late. just a few days ago i made the decision to move back to maryland to be with my grandma and my mom. after all, it was my turn to take care of her the way she took care of me for 26 years. after all these years i knew in my heart and deep down inside that i wanted to do this. but i didn't get the balls to make the decision until it was too late. if there is a lesson to be learned from this i would say don't make the same mistake that i made. seize the day for we do not know what tomorrow holds. i had to learn this the hard way. i really miss her a lot and i don't think i will be able to forgive myself for not being there. after the pain subsides...who will i turn to? where do i go from here? i am lost again...waiting to be found.
