Grandpa, I really don't know where to begin! It's been hard grandpa,real hard without you.I'm doing all I can to keep strong but deep inside I'm weak.I have only been to your house once since you left me. It's just too hard on me to be there and not have you to take care of. I'd do anything to have you here still just as you were but pain free and disease free! But if I could have you just to continue to take good care of you like I did I'd be so happy! Those last several weeks we had together were Incredible to me because I found so much joy in staying with you and taking care of you and everytime I walked in your face would light up and you always smiled no matter how bad you felt.That made me feel so complete inside! Then the last four days we spent together was hard but I knew and you knew I was'nt going to leave your side,so when I seen Jesus's Angels coming for you I climbed right up in that bed beside you and deep inside I was begging God to just give me one more day with you!! So for now I'm gonna keep on fighting through this ole world until we are together again and just know I am ALWAYS thinking of you every second of my days,,and wishing you were still here with me..I love you Grandpa with every breath I breath and I miss you more than I can explain but I know this is just temporary.So keep watching over me until I join you in Heaven someday..LOVE Tiffany
