Sometimes you can't let go, especially when its someone that was very close to you.

My grandpa was my idol. He did everything and anything. He was the best grandpa in the world.

If you were struggling with something and needed help, he was the person to ask. He had a big heart, and he did what he could to make everyone happy.

My grandpa was the type of guy to put others before himself. He took care of everyone instead of taking care of himself. He was a man of his word. He was an amazing dad, son, grandpa, and friend.

I would love to have one more day with him.

It was hard to let go, but I know I had to. He is happy with my grandma now and that's good to know. Grandpa, I love you more than anything, and I think of you all the time. You will certainly be missed and never forgotten.
