“Grief is forever. It doesn’t go away; it becomes a part of you, step for step, breath for breath. I will never stop grieving him, because I will never stop loving him. That’s just how it is. Grief and love are conjoined, you don’t get one without the other. All I can do is love him, and love the world, emulate him by living with daring and spirit and joy"

I miss you so much, Grampy. I can't believe it's been 16 years. I hope that I'm making you proud, and I know that you are watching over me every minute of every day. I wish I could talk to you, right now, and hear your voice again. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I love you, and I hope you're enjoying paradise.
