There is not a day pass by that I do not think of you. Sometimes I cry and sometimes I laugh or smile. This past year has been so long with out you. I know that you are watching over me everyday and that is what gets me though the day. I love you so much and that will never change. Grandpa you are always in my heart and I love you so much. I miss you so bad and I would do anything for the chance to hug you and see your beautiful blue eyes.
Love,
Emma
