Dear Mrs. Miller,
I have some things to say,
I have always loved you in more than one way.
I love you as my great-grandmother, for that’s what you are,
And I love you as my best friend, which you are by far.
I love you Nanny, you know it’s true,
I have always loved you, even when I was two.
That summer we shared, back when I was nine,
I missed my momma, but that was fine.
Almost everyday we went to the mall,
And I didn’t complain, not once at all.
We watched your Soap Operas and my cartoons,
Everyday starting right at noon.
We had lots of fun in that month and a half,
Man, I so wish that I could just go back.
Dear Mrs. Miller,
I have some things to say,
It hurts me to say this, but you’re near your final day.
I have always loved you in more ways than one,
That’s because you are always so much fun.
When you leave me, I’m going to be sad,
Just make sure for me, you say ‘Hi’ to my dad.
For me, give hugs to your mom and your son,
Miss Brigid, Grandma Doris, and well, everyone.
I know that you’ll soon be on your way,
But we will be together again someday.
Dear Mrs. Miller,
You are my best friend,
And you always will be, from this day, til the end.

So yes I may sleep with a Tickle Me Elmo; but at least he doesn’t wake up in the middle of the night crying.
