It feels like it has been so long since I have been on here. I have had a difficult month, and have not felt up to talking about it until now. I still feel the sting of tears in my eyes as I think about the loss my family and I have had. I lost my grandfather this month. He was one of the most special people in my life. He was a World War II veteran, a loving and kind husband, a wonderful father, and the only grandfather I ever knew.

He has been there for every special event in my life and has cheered me on every step of the way. He was married to my grandmother for 64 years and it was the most amazing love story I have ever seen.

My family and I have been there to support my grandma but I know her heart is forever broken. They were truly best friends. I feel so blessed to have him as a grandpa, and I know he has made my life better and richer in a million ways, big and small. I feel at peace knowing he is in a better place, but I will never stop missing him.
