GG was my grand-mother and she has been a big influence on my life. I really wish i had got to see her before she passed. I honestly cried every time i visited her. I remeber the day she went into hospice, i was in tears. I miss staying with her on weekends and spending time with her. We always used to play tic-tac-toe and really fun games. I will never forget her. She has been a HUGE influence on my life. Just remember, I think about you almost 24/4 and all the memories we had together. I love you gg!
