I’m so sorry I couldn’t stay by your side longer and hold you, but I believe everything happens for a reason. Now you can rest. I love you, Grandma. This hurts so much, but I’m grateful to Allah for every moment we shared together. Thank you for all the love, the memories, and everything you taught me.
I hope I made you proud, I’ll always hold you dear ❤️”
