Your grandma

Today I want to take a moment to thank your grandma. Grandma Julie. Unfortunately, we don't know what you might have actually called her. Nana? Granny? Gabby? We'll never know. Or at least not until we get to join you in Heaven. However, she is amazing. I know you already know this, but she's really something special. She's my mom and my best friend. Kind of what I hoped you and I would be some day. She loved you before she even knew you were on your way. And the second she learned you were a baby girl, she started spoiling you with clothes, shoes, you name it. You are named after her great great grandma, Stella St. Clair. She helped me prepare your nursery, wash all of your adorable baby clothes, she even bought you your very first tutu. You would have been so spoiled. She wasn't your mother, she didn't lose her first daughter, but she gets me. She gets this heartbreaking experience as much as she can. She grieves for the loss of her first granddaughter, but she also grieves for me. Because she has to watch her daughter in so much anguish and pain. Something I don't envy, because I will never have to watch you be in pain. Thank you God for that.

Your grandma misses you so much. Her heart aches… For you, for me, for your daddy. I know she's still your grandma, but she wishes you were here on earth rock, hold, and love. You were so special, so wanted, so loved… And you always will be.

Please shine your light on your Grandma Julie today. Give her peace and comfort, that she so deserves.

Your family on earth misses you so.
