Dot was my great grandmother but me and my whole family called her grandma. I loved her to death but I was a child and I didn’t know how to show it well. I feel broken when I know I can’t see her anymore. I always saw her after my elementary school, I’d stay the nights there when I was young and I overall just loved being at her place but I was a child and I wanted to do my own thing instead of spending time with her. I regret not spending time with her so bad. I miss her so much, everytime I think about me going to her house after my school and going straight to her room and watch her tv. I’d never really spend any time with her and I feel horrible now that I cant ever see her again. I loved her so much, just writing this makes me want to cry. She wasn’t only my grandma but she was my mom’s. My mom and her were very close like my mom was Dorothy’s daughter. Dorothy raised my mom more than her mom did. Her mom wasn’t a very good mother. She was very neglectful and abusive. My mom’s mom wasn’t a good person. Dorothy raised mom more than anyone could. Seeing my mom cry about my grandma hurts. This grief and pain hurts me and her dearly. I miss her a lot. There’s a song that reminds me of her. Everytime I listen to it, I think of her. The song is called:
Beautiful Pain by Alec Benjamin. I love you grandma. I know you’ll never see this but I want you to know that I’m sorry. I’m sorry I wasn’t a very good granddaughter. I’m sorry I got into trouble a lot. I’m sorry I wasn’t very social and I’m sorry for everything. I love you so much. I hope you and Sally are happy again.
I love you so much.
