It was exactly one month ago from today that my Grandpa past away. It was probably some of the most heart-breaking news I had ever heard. He was one of the best grandpa's anyone could ever have. He wasn't one for children, but I knew he loved me a lot, especially whenever he pulled me aside and slapped a twenty dollar bill in my hand and told me it was for being a good girl. I love him very much and miss him every day.

Love you Grandpa,
Amy
