View all 13 ReflectionsHi Gran, I’m your granddaughter, yet you already know that. When you passed away, Josh is the one grandkid you had, now you have so many. I would have loved to meet you, but I’m sure you already have met me when God decided to send me to my mom. I hear amazing stories about you and I know we would have gotten along very well. People say my mom is just like you, I chose to believe i have met you and have a relationship with you through her. I love you and I cannot wait to officially meet you in heaven!
