Grandpa,

There aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe how much I love you or how you impacted my life greatly. My life hasn't been the same since you left us physically. You always knew what to say and when to say it. I knew I could always count on you for reassurance, the Word and a good laugh.

There aren't enough words to tell you how much I love you or how I would do anything to spend a day with you again. But please know, if there were enough words, I would say them. I wish I wouldn’t have to tell my children about you but that they could feel you and share memories with you. I wish I had your approval of my future husband. However, I do know that you will forever be my guardian angel and guard me from any harm that comes my way.

There aren't enough words to explain how I felt when you weren't in the crowd at my high school graduation or the feeling that you wont hold a chair at my college graduation, my wedding or the chair in the hospital when I start a family of my own. There aren't enough words to describe how you prepared me to love my family and always love Jesus more than anything. You have molded me and shaped me.

My promise to you is this, that I will constantly tell my family about my dearest grandpa, always make sure that the “empty” seat is always saved for your spirit to repeatedly feel welcome. I will always live and strive to make sure you have something to be proud of. I am a walking prodigy of you and I will never forget that.

Until I see you again,

Sincerely me
