My grandfather was a great man, and I will miss him dearly. I regret the past few years, due to the fact that we had grown apart. I know that his love never fadded from me, and with all that had happened he would still have bent over backwards for me. I regret more than anything that I did not ever tell him that he more than anyone helped mold me into the person that I am today. He was a driving force in my life, and will continue to be forever. I still to this day never met a more honest and hard working man. My dream is that I can be even half the man that he was.
