3. “Grandma, I’d give anything to hear you say ‘I’m proud of you’ one more time. That voice still echoes in my heart, even when it’s quiet.”
4. “The world feels softer when you’re in it. Now I carry that softness with me… and still wish you were here to share it.”
5. “I miss the way you’d tuck my hair behind my ear when I was upset, like you could fix anything with just that touch. No one does it like you.”
6. “Your stories about ‘the good old days’ used to make me laugh—now I’d listen to them on repeat just to hear your laugh again.”
7. “Grandma, I see you in every sunset (you always loved those), every batch of burnt toast (we tried, right?), and every ‘I love you’ I say. Miss you more.”
8. “There’s a chair at the table that’s still yours—no one else sits there. Some spots just can’t be filled.”

12. “I miss the way you’d save me a piece of pie (even if I said I wasn’t hungry) and pretend you ‘didn’t feel like it’—your love was in the little lies.”
13. “The holidays aren’t the same without your singing off-key to carols or your famous stuffing. You were the heart of every celebration.”
14. “I carry your necklace in my purse—when I touch it, it’s like you’re squeezing my hand. Still not enough, but it helps.”
15. “Grandma, you said love never goes away… I believe you. But that doesn’t stop me from missing *you*—the way you were, the way we were.”

19. “Grandma, I’m still learning to be as kind, as patient, as loving as you were. I hope I’m making you proud… and I miss telling you that.”
20. “Missing you isn’t just a feeling—it’s looking for your face in a crowd, reaching for your hand when I’m scared, and knowing a part of me will always be homesick for you.”
