''I miss you more now than ever before. I thought time heals, but time just passes by with thoughts of you. If you were here, you would be such a great grandmother. You would protect me always through my emotional upheavals, advising me in matters of love, life, motherhood, and so much more. I miss you so much; I never realized I would after so many years, but I do. Always look over me as my angel from heaven until we meet again. Ma,'' she wrote in the caption.
