DAY 24 ~ LETTER TO THE PERSON WHO GAVE ME MY FAVORITE MEMORY

DearGrandpa,
I miss you more today than the day you left this earth...The Memories you left me with are so many like going fishing I miss that.... you know who runied that for me because he wouldn't let me talk and I don't do that anymore..I remember the laughter and the fun..you where so onery when we fished and ran trout lines if the line was moving you told me its a big one I know it is....and it might have been a turtle or who knows what but it didn't matter if we didn't catch a thing we talked, we laughed and just had fun you made everything fun for me. One of my favorite memories is when we where at Carolyn's with my cousins..I must have been around 12, we where in the bedroom when all the sudden this man was at the window in this mask that scared us to death and by the time we made it to the living room you where sitting in a chair like nothing happened I know it was you because if it had been someone else you would have went and checked to make sure no one was outside you had a big grin on your face like WHAT ME..I know it was you that is just one example. I remember all the times you sat outside with me and we played olympic's you would sit outside with me for hours while I was doing cartwheels, back flips, etc.. you would judge me, most of the time you gave me a ten but then you where honest if I fell you still gave me a 5 I was in junior high that was so much fun. We still call each other on Christmas morning and say "CHRISTMAS GIFT" because you always did it and usually said it first and JUST laughed that you had beat us (I never really knew why we did that but it was fun)..I still answer the phone Christmas morning saying Christmas gift and will for the rest of my life in your honor..You where the most important man in my life I looked up to you and loved all our talks you gave the best advice and I know if you had known my EX was hitting me he would have found himself floating down the river I know you loved me that much but I didn't want you to worry..Grandpa when you got sick I cried and cried because I knew when they did that surgery the look in your eyes told the whole story that you knew you where not gonna make it..I remember how you didn't want my sons to see you like that, they where little then.... but you had them come in your room and talked to them I never knew what you said to them but they where giggling and smiling because you told them everything would be alright..I know there was a reason I was holding you hand when you took your last breath and I know your up there with God just watching over me..I know you held me in the car when I was in my accident I truly believe you are my guardian angel..I miss your smile and that funny hat you always wore I still have one hanging on my wall with your picture..Grandpa you where the greatest man ever...Kyle never got mad at me when he got older about his middle name ONIS he has been teased about it but I have heard him tell people he was proud of that name and he told me when he has a boy thats gonna be there middle name too...my heart just swelled..your memory will live on in my heart and the many others who you made laugh and looked up to you, I love you today more than I did when you where alive..someday I know you will be there to greet me when my number is called and that makes me feel good (I hope its a long time from now) I dream of you floating on a cloud fishing and smiling and in the best of health..Untill we meet again I will love you forever, your favorite grand daughter, Pamela
