Grammy's Letter

Dear Paige,
The first thing I have to say is that you have grown into a beautiful caring adult. I remember when you had tiny little feet that were not growing and a big belly, and you were so weak that you couldn’t even climb up on the couch without help. This was all before you were diagnosed with Celiac.
Once I learned about contamination I went and bought new pots and pans and kept them stored in a separate place because I wanted to be able to cook for you when you came to visit.
When it was time for the holidays I would try my best to make sure everything you had to eat was gluten and wheat free.  It was always a challenge for me to change a recipe into something you could eat and enjoy.
I am so proud of you and all you are doing to make people understand what celiac is all about, and also to have you as my granddaughter.
I love you,
Grandma
