My dearest “Aunt” Kaye:  Let me first say that we love you more than you will ever know.  That we are here for you, just as we always have been and just as you always have been in return. 

I spent this past weekend with my girlfriends and was prepared to draft up a cute post about our goofy escapades.  But Mom called me yesterday.  And she told me about the accident.  And now the only thing I can think of is how I wish we were with you - somehow helping to ease the burden - even a tiny bit - of your breaking heart.

Please know this.  You couldn’t be a better grandmother.  You couldn’t have loved or cherished or supported him more.  Through all the hard times, when he may not have shown it, he knew.  He always knew.  Don’t ever doubt that.

I won’t pretend to know what you must be going through.  I won’t tell you it will get better or that time will heal all wounds.  He was your first grandbaby.  You were his “Gams”.  And you were a damn good one.  In these tough days, weeks, months ahead…remember that first day, the first smile, the first steps and first words.  Remember his funny little quirks, the overnight visits and how much he adored you.  That was his true soul, Kaye.  From the mouth of babes, they always say.  Remember those times…

We love you and will soon be there by your side.
