I love you great granda so so much and I miss you ALOT. I wish I could see your pretty face again and hear your sweet kind voice. I wish I was able to see you more often and keep you company. I miss those amazing books you would give me, I loved ready your poems and funny jokes. My favourite one is where there is a picture of a red bird with its head feathers messy and it says, “AH YOU CAUGHT ME!” “And on a bad hair day too.” I never would of thought that last years book couldve been the last. I miss you and love you soooo much.
