In my younger years I lost someone very important to me, the most significant person in my life, my great grandma. her excellent name which I adopted for my future vintage product line is Bessie Banks. Im able to deal with her passing majority of the time but i get these moments where I just cry so to deal with the emotions I wrote her a letter.
Dear Grandma,
Last night I wished more than anything to talk to you. No one knows how much one day will me so much to me. If I was granted one wish, asking for you back wouldn't be fair, because I know your in a better place but I just want a chance to say bye. I want one more night of laying next to you in the hospital bed or making you another get well card and anticipating to hear your voice. At 1st I always tried to be strong and I member not crying for months and in those months I use to fall asleep in you minks coat to keep me from not crying. I figured more years passed, the better ill be able to cope but recently I just cry anytime someone brings up your name. I think about how you introduced me to my favorite candy peppermint and how you told me its good to eat when your sick so I would always play sick (I still do that till this day LOL) to have a piece, I remember sitting in your living room next to your double deck record player teaching me domino and helping you make peanut butter cookies by butting the fork marks across them, or sitting back and admiring you at the bowling alley with you friends. I could go on for hours discussing every detailed memory I cherished with you, you made me the person I am today and you tough me so much I will forever abide by. For now I have pictures, your diamond bracelet and memories to help me get through moments like this so until my chance to see you again I wanted to tell you I miss you terribly, I hope you happy up there and you're watching over me.

i came across a bundle of photos of a Debutante Ball that my
great grandma Bessie and grandma Marshal (mother and daughter) attended
had to be dated from the late 40's early 1950's .
