Dear Grandma,

I have been thinking lately about all the wonderful things you do and did for me, and everyone else. You where the strong one when my mom died; you took me in to let me live with you. You always make sure I get what I want. You have never given up on me, even when I was slipping up in school, when I just didn’t care.

Then I was thinking about what I do for you. It saddened me when I realized that taking out the trash out and going to the store for you doesn’t really compare with what you have done for me. So I ask you, what could I do that would ever repay something like giving up your life to make mine better? I couldn’t think of anything but to thank you and do my best to respect and love you.

Your grandson, age 14
