Grandma Bobbie

A few weeks ago my grandma died. I miss her very much. She was such a great gandma. We used to exange letters in the mail. We were looking through her drawers the other day and I found a few letters that I wrote to her when I was like 6 or 7. I thought it was very nice that she kept those all these years. She accepted Jesus in her heart a few months ago so she is with Jesus. I remember when she would tell us about when she was young. We loved her stories. When my sister and I were younger and when my grandma would come to visit we would wake up early, grab our favorite toy, and sit outside the bedroom door, waiting for her to wake up so we could show her our toys. When she moved here, she would always tell my sister and I when Hannah Montana was gonna be on th television so we could go to her house and watch it with her. She was a fun grandma. I love her so much.
