Thank you for everything you did for me, grandpop. I'll never forget the things you did that you didn't have to do. You spent your time making sure my childhood was more enjoyable and secure in whole. Forgive me for not being there for you in the end when you needed me most. I will keep you and grandmom alive in my heart until I take my last breath.
