Miss You

Dear Gramma, I can't believe you have been gone for three years already. I don't know if a single day has passed where I don't think about you and wish you were still here with us.  I'm sorry I didn't visit you more when you were sick and in the hospital, I think I was just scared.  I would give anything to have you back for one more day. There is so much I wanted to ask you or tell you, but now I can't.  More than anything I wish you could meet your great granddaughter.  You would love snuggling with her and cuddling her. I'm glad that grandpa is able to see her, but it breaks my heart to know that you are not there.  I hope you on know that I miss you like crazy and think about you all of the time.  You will be happy to hear that I am teaching L how to sign.  I want her to have a little part of you with her.  She likes the sign for cookie which I think is the first sign I can remember learning.  I hope you are okay and feeling better.  It was hard to see you in so much pain and frustration.  There have been a few times where I am sure that you are with me, it's like I can feel you or sense you near me.  Thank you for being there and checking up on me. I love you and miss you.

Chasing Harry Winston

Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger

I have to admit, this book started out a little slow.  The only reason I continued to read past the first chapter was because this book is by the same author of The Devil Wears Prada, a book I quite enjoyed.  I am certainly glad that I stuck with it.  This book follows three friends through a tough year in their lives where they are deciding and discovering what will make them happy.  Not everything is quite as wonderful as it seems for these three friends and this book shares their successes and personal hardships.  I enjoyed reading how each of these girls was their for the other and able to help pick up the pieces.  Each chapter had a little snip-it of what was happening in their personal and professional lives at the time.  Some chapters were a bit hard to catch the transition so I found myself having to go back a few paragraphs just to find out who were talking about. All in all, this was a very heartwarming story of the power of friendship and the struggles of discovering who you really are and what you really want.

Gone Girl

                                   
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn


This book was written so well, I could barely put it down. Every other chapter is written from the husband's point of view, then the wife's point of view. It starts off as a murder mystery that seems so obvious.  Pretty soon you realize that one of these people isn't telling the truth and that there is a whole lot more to this story. I found myself gasping at some points of the book and unable to put it down because I just had to know what really happened.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries.  At points there are some gruesome details, but nothing that will make you ill.  It is filled with many twists and turns and makes for a great read.
