Dear Grandpa, where do I begin? I suppose I'll start by saying that I love you and I'll miss seeing you. I was glad and very thankful to see you again before you went to go with Jesus and be with grandma again. It wasn't, and isn't easy being so far away from you. I look forward to seeing you again one day. I know that you wouldn't want to see or hear me cry about you, so I'll do my best not to. :-( You're a very strong and proud man. I am grateful to have gotten to know so much about you, but there is still so much I think I may have missed. I wish I could go back in time and get to know more. Your great grandbabies, Seth and Stacie, will miss you too. I'm glad that they had the chance to meet you. Stacie cried when she heard that you had left us. I did my best to let her know that you're in a better place now. That you've went back to be with grandma and Jesus, and that all of your pains and suffering were gone now. I let them both know that just because you're gone from us physically, we can still talk with you and that you'll always be with all of us. Auf weidersehen.
