A Letter to my Grandma

Dear Grandma,

I've been thinking about writing a letter like this, for the blog, for a long time. I never planned on showing you, but somehow I think you'll know.

I'd like to think thank you. Not in the traditional sense either. Yeah yeah. You raised me and that's cool and all, but kids are like trees. Make sure they don't catch on fire or get chopped down and everything is fine.

No. I want to thank you for so much more than that. Thought there are other people that I could thank, I'm going to stick with you.

Thank you for staying with me. You stood by on every occasion that I wanted to write. You've bought me books. You've given me names for characters, but more than anything else, you never let me stop. No matter how much anyone puts me down, you're always there to lift me up.

Because of you, I had my first, second, and my third contract signing. And I couldn't be happier.

So, here's to you. Here's to standing by young artists until they make something of themselves.

-A.M.
