Grandma,

Dad says I look exactly like you. I wouldn’t know. You died when he was about my age and I’ve never seen a picture of you at Grandpa’s. Oh, how I wish I could have met you, even just once to see how you were like. If you’re reading this, I want you to know about me even if I’ll never be able to tell you in person, at least for a while. I’m starting my sophomore year in high school, and I’m a great student (I get all A’s). I love spending time with friends and family, and from time to time I think about you and wish I could meet the woman whose blood runs through my veins.

Gramps remarried and I love him Grams with all my heart, but I wish that you could be a part of my life. You would be so proud of me! I hope we can meet in heaven so you and I can make up for lost time. From what I hear, you and I are quite alike! I wish you could be here to help me and enlighten me with your wisdom. I could use it occasionally (okay, you’ve got me, more often than not).

We’ll see each other sometime soon.

I love you,

Aubrey, age 15
