I will miss you grandpa; but I know I will also get to see you again someday. I loved how you played your harmonica. I remember when I was a lot younger, I asked for a harmonica for one of my gifts and I got one, but I could never play it like you did! I love you and will never forget all the good memories we shared. The hardest thing to live with when a loved one goes is not being able to say goodbye, but I know you can hear me from heaven so its not a goodbye but instead I will see you later, Amberkyria Colleen Wolfe
