Dearest Yiayia, you are truly one of the most beautiful people I know—inside and out. I am so happy you moved to Texas, giving me the chance to get to know you so much better. You are so special to me, and near and dear to my heart. I have such fond memories of you, always laughing and smiling in your chair, or dispersing your words of wisdom at the dinner table. Thank you so much for letting me be me, and for embracing me and all of my kookiness. I love you so much! Yiayia always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all day and now the day was complete.
