Bittersweet feelings...


Early this morning my sweet Grandpa joined my Grandma in heaven. I'm incredibly sad to see him go but, I'm so happy that he is reunited with his forever sweetheart. How do I express my feelings for a man that I love so much? He was so sweet and I never for a second doubted that he loved me. He could tease me like no other but, I always knew that it was out of love. He never let me leave without a kiss and he was always affectionate. I'm so thankful for the people who have taken such great care to make his journey home comfortable. I'm thankful for my parents for all of their tenderness and love towards him. I love you Grandpa and will miss you more than you can ever know!

Alisa,
So sorry to hear about your Granpa's passing. It makes me reflect up the time when my own grandpa will go, and I can't help but cry my eyes out for you and your family. A grandpa's love can never be replaced. I'm so glad we have the gospel in our lives.

So sorry to hear about your Grandpa. My Grandpa is very sick right now and doesn't have much time left either. It seems it is extra hard around the holiday season. I will keep you in my prayers.
