Granddad,
Thank you so much for showing me I can do anything I put my mind to. I value the firm hand you had with education. It is because of your words that I pushed myself hard to be the registered nurse I am today. You taught me so much and am so grateful to be your granddaughter.
I am blessed that I was able to be with you during your last day and help keep you comfortable during your last moments with us. I love you. You will forever be in my heart. ♥
