Hi Pop Pop
I miss you. I know that you're listening right now. It's been a tough couple of months for all of us. You've been nothing but strong through all of it. The last time I saw you was on Christmas. I just want to remind you how special of a person you are to me. I feel so fortunate to have had you here to watch me grow into the young adult I am today. We had a great relationship that not many kids are able to say they've had with their grandparents. I feel so blessed. I'll never forget spending the summers with you and grandma. I still have the notebooks that I wrote in each day spent with you and all of the fun things we got to do. I can't forget about all the vacations that you and grandma took me on. I got to go to so many places with you! We saw so much together! All the countless holidays spent together were always my favorite. Listening to fun Christmas songs and at dinner time you'd put on Andrea Buchelli & Frank Sinatra. Everyone at the table sharing old stories that ended with crying & laughter. The best story of all was you & grandmas. A true love story. 60 years of marriage and you still looked at her as if it was the first time. Your love for her never once came unnoticed. You were always such a gentlemen and everything you did, you did it for her or your kids. You were also the greatest father, son, brother, & grandpa. It's comforting to know that you are no longer suffering. You fought long enough. Enjoy your peace and happiness with God. Feel free to reach out to us to let us know that you're watching down from heaven.
I'll miss you forever and ever PopPop.
You'll forever be with me in my heart.
I love you so much!
I'll see you again someday.
