Grampy it has been extra hard today and I have no idea why. Some days are okay and then others are like this, I thought you were suppose to stick around and see me graduate and just be with all of us for longer than you were. God really took a good one, actually he took the best one.

I Love You!!!

Hi Gramps,
Guess who got a car? ME! Not an Infiniti, but I love it just as much if not more. I put your rosaries on the mirror so I know that your always with me. Can't believe it is already October in a way it seems like just yesterday you left us but in another way it seems like forever. Just wanted to stop by and let you know that I'm always thinking of you Gramps. I love & miss you so much.

Grampy,
Tomorrow is my first Friday coming home from school. I know I'll find a way home, but I know it should be you waiting for me in that parking lot. I miss you more than words can describe, it hasn't gotten any easier. I love you Grampy.

Gramps,
Not one day has passed that I have not thought about you. We never did get to exchange your Father's Day and my Birthday present, but I saw a shooting star the night of my birthday and I definitely think it was you letting me know your okay. That was probably my best present this year. I never thought I would miss driving home from school with you because you drove so slow and your music wasn't so great! Now theres nothing I want more than to sit next to you and listen to your stories while you stop at every back road saying it leads to here and there. I am going to keep up the grades, graduate and get that Infiniti, you'll see! I will never ever ever forget you Grampy your laugh, your smile, your scally cap and everything about you. I love and miss you more than anything. I was lucky to be your grandaughter. You left us way too soon, "I love you always forever".
