I think about the legacy you left behind and the life I lived as a kid not knowing who my grandfather really was. I'm raised with a faint memory, but it's so hard to grasp that I'm sometimes only left with feelings and vague impressions of a man I once knew.

I know that I loved you. I know that your death left an impact that's never really been completely left and when I face loss again in my life I think I come back to you. I wish I knew you. I wish I knew you more than what I could barely understand as a kid who just wants to go home and play games. But I don't. Despite that I still think of you.

Your memory remains on, 16 years after the fact. If nothing else I think that shows how special of a person you were.
