If roses grow in heaven lord, please pick a bunch from me. Place them in my grandma’s arms and tell her they are from me. Tell her I love her and miss her and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, but there’s an ache in my heart that will never go away.

Love you to the moon and back grandma<3 This isn’t goodbye just see you later.
