(A journal entry dated June 18, 2002 -- just a few days after her death.)
My world doesn't turn as slowly as it once did.
Time has quickened and the days connect in a blur.
The pain of losing you runs deep and I am not able to grasp the reality of your death.
The endless moments I spent with you as your book came to a close are moments I will cherish for the rest of my life.
The endless moments ended but I'm at peace because I was able to tell you all the things I held in my heart.
I was able to tell you how blessed I have been to be your tenth granddaughter and that your strength and warmth have made a distinct difference in my life.
Holding your hand, hearing you softly breathe, feeling you reach for me in the night filled my heart with joy and made me appreciate your life and all you mean to so many people.
You are loved, I am blessed, you are missed.
