I write today to celebrate the remarkable life of my grandmother, MaMiss . Though with a heavy heart, i will forever remember the incredible impact she had on me.
MaMiss was not just a grandmother; she was the heart of our family. Her love was unconditional, and her warmth wrapped around us like a comforting blanket. From her stories that took us back in time to her laughter that filled our homes, she had a unique way of making even the simplest moments special.
She taught us the value of being God fearing,kindness , giving and perseverance. Through her actions, she showed us how to love fiercely and live fully. Whether she was in the kitchen, creating her famous bonesu’u and fufu, or sitting in her room,her presence brought us peace and joy.
Her wisdom was a guiding light. She had an incredible ability to listen without judgment and to share advice that resonated with our hearts. In her eyes, we were always worthy of love and happiness. She believed in each of us, even when we struggled to believe in ourselves. That’s how we her grandchildren were able to carry on in school and life and got awesome performances.
I will carry forward your legacy of love and compassion. We your grandchildren will honor your memory by treating each other with the same kindness you showed us every day. Though you may no longer be with us in body, your spirit will forever live on in our hearts and actions. I remember you talked about us being united always, we will never forget your wish for us . Your “grandmother” just like you always referred to me misses you so much .
Thank you, MaMiss , for everything. You have left us with a treasure trove of memories that we will cherish forever.Say hello to Daddy for me. Rest in peace, knowing you were deeply loved.
