My grandmother Nancy was always one of my favorite people to see. Her cooking and happy smile always put me at ease. I remember staying with her on days when I was feeling too “sick” to go to school. If she were still here with us, I know things would be different. I would get to tell her the things I am saying in this song. People have judged me, limited me, and tried to hold me back. That is something she just didn’t do. She truly saw who I was and held me in her arms just as tight. Lots of times people forget that everyone struggles with their own things. I think this is something she was always aware of and I have always tried to be aware of it too. In many situations I have felt like I didn’t belong or didn’t deserve to belong. She never let me feel this way. She never let anyone feel this way. When I was little, we were on a long car trip and I kept asking when we would get to our destination. She told me to be patient and I said “How do you do that?” She tilted her head back and looked up at the ceiling and didn’t say a word for what seemed like forever. Then she looked at me and said that’s how you do it. You just have to lay your head back and be really quiet. That was the day I became an expert on being patient. And that moment was one of the inspirations for this song. This song is a letter to her.
