Grandpa, I hope you know how much I love you! I am certain you do. Whenever I came over, you were happy as a kid, you took my best interests at heart, and have been there in the hardest times of my life and I can't express enough gratitude of you being there and loving me unconditionally. I don't want to let go, you will stay in my heart for the rest of my life, and watch over us. May peace be with you Grandpa, and I will see you when I get there.
