Honoring my Grandmother

Three nights ago, I lost someone who meant the world to me. My grandmother lost her battle to peritoneal cancer after 2.5 years. She was more than just my grandma, she was one of my best friends. She raised me to be the person I am today and I will never forget her kind, supporting, caring and loving nature that she always had towards me. 
My grandparents raised me for 7 years while my mother finished school. She had me at a very young age, so my grandparents helped her by taking care of me. My grandmother loved to boast about how I was her precious grandaughter and loved to take me out anywhere she went because everyone would stop her and tell her how cute I was. She loved getting attention with me and was so proud to tell everyone she was my grandmother. She was at every school dance, special event, graduation, you name it. She was always by my side and supported every decision I ever made. She loved everything about me and she made me feel special all the time.
She was someone who was so important to me and the fact that she's gone is so hard to grasp right now. She was the best grandmother that anyone could ever wish for and I was so lucky to have her in my life and be so close to her. She will always be close to my heart and always be on my mind. I saw her as a second mother to me and these next few months are going to be extremely hard without her. I love you grandma and I always will.

Right now, my amazing grandfather is struggling to pay for her funeral. Her being in and out of the hospital, has taken a toll on his finances and he can barely come up with enough for a funeral. It breaks my heart because he was always by her side and never complained about not getting sleep or driving back and forth to the hospital, an hour drive without major Boston traffic. He stayed with her overnight most nights in the hospital sleeping on a cot right next to her bed. He loved my grandmother more than anything in the world. My grandfather deserves the world and he is the sweetest man I have ever known. 

If anyone can make a donation towards the funeral, my family would be extremely grateful. We are all struggling with the fact that she is gone. She was so important to all of us. She deserves a proper ceremony and we want to make that happen. She was an incredible woman and always will be. May she rest in peace and I will always cherish every single second I spent with her.
