I received some of the most devastating news last night, The man who I knew as my grandfather had passed away. Let me give you some background information so there is no confusion. Don was not my biological grandfather, My Mother’s Father(James) died before I was born and my Father’s Father(Tex) I have never met not by personal choice but because circumstance has just not allowed it to happen.
Don came into my life in my early teenage years, he was married to my Step Dad’s Mother and was the ONLY grandfather I ever knew. I was incredibly sad that he has passed away and I am just heart broken. I have so many things I wanted to say that I never got to so here is my opportunity.
Dear Grandpa Don,
Thank you for stepped up and being the Grandfather I always needed. You were the best Grandfather a girl could ever ask for and you showed me that I was missing a huge part of my life by not having a Grandfather, you filled that void and then some,You were always so kind and full of wisdom. You taught me things and often after we talked I had a different outlook on things. I am deeply saddened that you are gone, I feel like you had so much more wisdom to teach me that I did not have the time to learn and I regret that. I will miss talking to you about food and I will carry on your many recipes you told me with pride onto my family. You will be greatly missed and I feel I was blessed to have you in my life.
Thank you for being the Grandfather I never had, You will forever be my guardian angel!
Sincerely,
Your Grand Daughter Stephy.
So sorry for your loss. It is so difficult and sad to lose a grandparent. My mom passed away last week at age 90 so my children lost their grandmother. They are so upset but will remember the happy memories of her. All of our sympathy to you.
