Grandsons Poem

Wassup Gma? This is so hard writing, but I guess it has to be written. I love you so much. I just wanted to tell you & thank you for always being by my side, especially; when I felt the world was against me. Even when I was running wild - you still had my back. “Right, Wrong or Indifferent.” Grandma, “I love you so much!”
