Dear Grandma,
It's been nearly a month since you left this Earth, sprouting wings and flying up into eternal bliss. Maybe you're in a better place, but it sure is hard for us to let you go. I can't move on when all I can think about is your sparkling, jolly eyes and your beautiful smile. 
We're all doing okay down here, just missing you is all. You were right about middle school; I've made lots of friends. I only wish you could have met them. You would have loved them. They're just like you: sweet, loving, and compassionate. 
Ma and Pa are doing fine as well. Their hearts ache as much as mine does, I can tell. They try to hide it, but the grief is just too great to conceal.
I love you. You will forever be in my heart.
Love,
Amelia.

Dear Grandma,
I still think about you every day. I think about the joy I felt when I was with you and the happiness we shared. I'm trying to move on, I really am. I know you wouldn't want us mourning. You'd want us to continue living our lives to the fullest. 
I joined three new after school clubs. It's been taking my mind off of losing you. Plus, writing club is really helping me pursue my passion. I was always embarrassed to say it because I thought it was a bit too ambitious, but I want to write a novel. I want to become an authour. I should have told you while you were still alive, but I was afraid I would be more fun of. Not by you, I know you would never do that, but I just though that if it my parents found out they'd make a big deal out of it. 
I miss you so much but I feel as if my broken heart may be slowly mending. 
Love you forever and always,
Amelia.

Dear Grandma,
I haven't written in a long time. I'm sorry, I've just been really busy. With ballet, school, and my writing club, I've just been swamped.
I'll always love you and the happy memories of us together will live in my heart eternally, but I'm staring to move on. I barely ever burst into tears when I think of you anymore. I instead remember all the fun times I was able to enjoy with you. 
Ballet has been getting harder and harder lately. Karina, our instructor has been having us train more and more. Almost every free moment of my life is spent dancing. But I love it. Thank you, Grandma, for encouraging me to start dance and for supporting me along the way. Everytime I dance, I dance for you.
That's it for now.
Lots of love,
Amelia.

Dear Grandma,
Today the funniest thing happened. Jenelle and Miles, my best friends, pulled an April Fool's prank on me. It was hilarious and humiliating at the same time. When I opened my locker, tons of balloons fell out, floating to the ground. It was a mess! By the time my friends and I had cleaned it up, the bell had rung. We were late. Our teacher sent us down to the principal's office to explain ourselves. As we did, the principal simply started laughing. He let us go back to class.
Dance is still really stressful. We have a recital next Monday. I get to dance the lead, Cinderella. I just wish that you could be there, cheering me on. 
I love you so much.
Sincerely,
Amelia

Dear Grandma, 
Happy birthday. We're all thinking about you and praying that you're having a good time in heaven. We even bought a cake in honor of your birthday. As much as I'd like to way that I've completely moved on, I can't. Many tears were shed today and I couldn't stop thinking about you. 
On another note, summer break starts in a few days and I'm really looking forward to spending summer with my friends. 
Although I'd love to write more, I've got to get ready for dance rehearsal. 
Love you lots,
Amelia

Dear Grandma,
Summer sure went by fast. School starts in a few weeks! This summer, Ma, Pa, and I went to Colorado for vacation. White water rafting sure was a thrill. 
I'm proud to say that I haven't cried because of your death in the last two weeks. I'm moving on, I really am. 
I've really blossomed as writer this summer. I went to a writing course in Downbury, a town about an hour from here. I learned a lot there. I've also been entering (and winning!) lot of writing contests lately. It's been a lot a fun. 
Love you,
Amelia

Dear Grandma, 
It's been nearly a year since you left us. I'm missing you like crazy, but surprisingly, it doesn't hurt anymore. I no longer cry myself to sleep at night or burst into tears thinking about you. I smile when I remember you. You have taught me so much. 
Speaking of teaching, my first year of high school has been great. It's much less stressful than i expected it to be. I'm still working hard as both a dancer and q writer and I'm getting better and better at both. 
Miles and Jenelle are amazing friends, and we're getting closer and closer. They're always there for me when I need someone  to lean on and they support me in everything I do. 
Sincerely,
Amelia

Dear Grandma, 
I think this will be the last letter I write for a while. I just feel like my heart had healed. When I lost you, my heart felt like a part of it was missing, but now, it feels almost full again. Sure, there will always be a small piece of it missing, but for right now, I feel content. That's because I've learned that you'll always be with me, watching from above. I will forever treasure the sweet memories I made with you while you were with us. 
I never got to say goodbye to you, and quite frankly, I wasn't ready then. I am now. I'm ready to let go and move one. I love you Grandma. Forever will you be in my heart. Goodbye.
With love, 
Amelia
