Dear Great Great Grandma:
You know, when I first started these letters, I thought that this letter would be to someone like the Beatles. Someone famous that I thought had had an amazing, popular life. And I do wish I had been alive during that time period, but then I couldn't have been your great great granddaughter. I wouldn't have the same name, since I wouldn't have been born to my parents, and I wouldn't share YOUR name.
Grandma, I never got to meet you, even when I was a baby. And you are my namesake... I wish I could have grown up with you around, even though you would have been very old. I wish I knew how you got the name "Delana" and what it meant. It's so hard to find a meaning for my name, and I don't know which one to take as the true meaning that was behind yours. I'd like to know one day.
I do wish I could have met you. I wish I could have gotten to know you, but that won't happen until we're both behind the Pearly Gates.
I love you. (:
