Grandpa,
Taking care of the family was not a once in a while task, it was an everyday expierence, which you took on with admiration and respect. You have instilled in me the everday values of what it means to be not just a man, but a good hearted family man. Thank you so much...I will miss our long walks together after family dinners, and our rides in the paddle boat. I promise to make the best of everyday that I have on earth, and I can't wait to see you again...maybe we could get a good game of chess in. When we meet again, you will not have to do yard work by yourself at the new log cabin, for I will be by your side to help. Love your grandson, Nicholas
