dear grandma,

around the holidays was when i could tell we all missed you the most. you were the one that started the tradition of the McArthur family Christmas morning brunch. and hopefully it's a tradition that never stops. 

the thing you always wanted most was for us to learn to love out family more than anything else. and realize that we always need to be there for each other. and no matter what they would always be there for us, and it's something i know that none of us have ever forgotten. 

i think of you a lot. and i miss you so much. but i know you're up there, helping out everyone. and i know that Heavenly Father needed you more up there than he did down here. i know there are kids up there that maybe left their families here on earth, and i'm sure you're making them feel loved, like you did to all of us. 

grandma i know you may not be here with me on earth, but i feel you here all the time. and i know you're watching over me. i promise i'll never do anything that could prevent  me from being able to live with you again. because i look forward to that day so much. and i'm grateful for the testimony of that, that you helped me to gain.

i love you, -brit
