Hey Grandpa I had another dream last night of my cat Thumper . He passed away not too long ago. I hope he's OK up there. So if you see a black and white cat that looks lost. His name is Thumper he knows of you but never met. If you need someone up there with you Thumper is your go too friend. Watch over him for me would you because I miss him and you alot. I'm going to get off this medication next Monday if the both of you can watch over me because I'm nervous. And I hate that I have to do this now because I watch over this family. It's hard but it has to be done. I love you and please find Thumper. He's scared of people but if he knows you are with him he will come to you. Love both of you. See you both soon.

Grandpa you really got me in a mess. I mean I'm broken but my path I believe starts Friday. I'm gonna get myself back. I'm gonna rebuild because Mel deserves better, the family deserves better and more importantly I deserve better. It's gonna suck but sitting her thinking when did it all go so wrong isn't helping. Hopefully I can do this. I love you but you are destroying me. I can't get over why you left. But I understand it. Just can't accept it.

It's 1 am and I'm just laying in bed missing you. Man I love you so much. It's so hard continuing to live by your ways when no one else wants too but I know it's the right way. I look forward to the day when we cross paths again. May it come sooner then later love you always and forever.

Hey Grandpa. I need your help. Uncle Joe is in bad shape. I dont want anything to happen to him. I need you to keep watching over him. Just need a sign that everything will be ok. I wish you where here life would be so different. I love you and miss you. I hope one day we will meet again. Until then God Speed.

Hi Grandpa Im not sure why I keep coming back here. Not like you can see it or anything . Just helps me when I write it down gets it off my chest I guess. 20 years now and hasn't gotten any easier just harder. Started to forget what your voice sounds like and that bothers me. Just can't wait for the day we are all together again as one family. See you hopefully sooner then later. Love you always and forever your Grandson Chris
