I woke this morning with your day on my mind. The emptiness of knowing you have been away better than a year now. I still hold you dear to my heart even though circumstances prevented me from being closer to you or helping in your last months with us. I love you dad. Thank you for all you were to me in my life. Your influence was the greatest factor. I love and admire you as the greatest man I have ever known. To my honorable dad's memory.

Grandpa I know it's been 5 months and I was there with you holding your hand when you had to leave. But I miss you everyday and nothing will ever replace you in my life. Your loss is more than I can bear. Have no doubt you were loved here on earth as I know you are in heaven.

Grandpa, we know that you are finally reunited with grandma...holding her hand!
