Why I'm her little angel

My grandmother died on 1/2/99; I was heartbroken. The thing I want to tell you about is why I'm called her little angel. My grandmother had a history of heart trouble. Before I was born, she was faced with the decision to have heart surgery; if she didn't have it she would die. I don't know if she wanted to have the surgery or not, but as soon as she heard that her son's wife was pregnant, and was going to have a girl(me), she decided to go ahead and have the surgery. She had to have a pig valve inserted into her heart, and the surgery was successful; she lived for another 14 years. I am very grateful that she decided to go through with the surgery, because she was a wonderful and caring person. I'm very grateful to have had the honor to know her. I will forever miss her, and hope that she is happy up in heaven with God.
