    Thank you to you an Nan for always being my safe haven for me growing up, knowing if I ever needed you, you both would welcome me with open arms and tell me everything will be okay. Thank you for showing me what true love really is and that it is possible to find your soul mate. The love you and Nan shared for each other is one in a million and I’m so thankful I was able to witness that. You were a fighter right up until the end and I’m so thankful I was able to be with you. We’ll take care of Nan for you, don’t worry about that. We all miss you, but we know you’re not in pain anymore. Love always, Toria xx
