Dear Grandma,
Thank you . Thank you for choosing to know me, for choosing to love me, for choosing to be my Grandma, even though you did not have to.
Thank you for showing me your light.
Sometimes In life, we don't recognize the smallest moments on earth, are the biggest moments in God's plan.
You, nor I realized the significance that your love and light would have on my heart, and my lifes journey
The smallest things that seem normal to most, were everything to me...... When I'd sleep at your house, you'd tuck me in so tight I couldnt breath.... So many blankets... but you always made sure I knew there were extras in the wooden chest at the bottom of the bed, just in case the 5 I already had on weren't enough
Seriously, that was my most favourite memory ....
The hugs you gave us when we arrived after the long car ride from Hamilton....theyy always included an extra firm round of patting to the back to show the extra love
You lunches for camp and school .... Your brown paper bag lunches that always included a sandwich (frozen) that you'd always promise would be thawed by lunch.... But definitely never was.... an apple, a. juice box and a fruit roll up.
It Made me feel so special to be able to pull out A meal at lunch time like all the other kids
I'm sorry I could not understand then, that all these small moments in time, were not actually small at all...
Thank you for being my Grandma...
Even though you didn't have to...
I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.
Love you forever Grandma,
Noura.
