Three years ago today I lost one of the best Grampa’s anyone could ask for. I miss him so much and it hurts just thinking about walking into that hospital three years ago.
They had cookies on a trolly tray with coffee, tea soda and water. I am guessing to easy the pain. Our whole family was outside that door. I fell into my aunts arms and just cried.
I walked into see you. To say I love you and good bye one more time. I will cherish that opurtunity till my last breath when at that point I will be going into heaven, I will fall into your arms and hug you so hard, take a deep breath of your old spice smell and tell you how much I have missed you. I can not wait for that day.
I am so blessed to have you as my Grampa. To have named my son after you. To have you hold me when I needed to cry growing up. Have you there the night I told you I was pregnant at 17 and tell me it was ok. To have you share your jelly candy. The venison jerky you made me and my partner at Fallon. To remind me that I was loved no matter what anyone thought. To be the first girl in the family you gave a ring to. To have you be proud that I was a rainbow girl. Everything in my life you gave me I will cherish forever and a day.
I love you Grampa and miss you so much.

Venison jerky? GAG.
Sorry about your Grandpa. I wish I had been closer to either of mine.
