more

My grandma and I have a special little routine when we get off the phone or whenever we tell each other I love you. It started a VERY long time ago (probably when I was four or five and would try to find a way to prolong bedtime as long as I could). She says, “I love you” and I say, “I love you MORE.” And then she says, “No no no, Brianna, I love YOU more.” We go back and forth like this for as long as we can before we absolutely have to hang up the phone, or it’s really time to go to bed, or one of us has to get on the train or the airplane and go home. I don’t know who loves the other person more, but I know that we both love each other very very much.

We found out last Sunday that my grandma has brain cancer. My family is in shock and we are very scared for her and for my grandpa. I wish I could be there with them right now. She is such an amazing person with more faith than anyone I know and she is so special to me. I am praying with all my heart for her comfort and for my grandpa’s strength.

I am so lucky to have the four most amazing grandparents in the world.
