Dad it's been 2 weeks and 3 days that we been without you, It doesn't get any easier. Been really missing you so much. I am trying my hardest to realize that you are really gone. I know I have to be strong but it takes every ounce of me to do that, everything reminds me of you, I can still hear your voice in my head. I am glad I was able to spend as much time as I could with you no matter what the occasion. Dad you will always hold a special place in my heart, I will let you rest now Dad I dont want you to hear the pain my heart is carrying. I love you Dad. P.S. I was at the store today and noticed all the Fathers Day gifts and it made me shed a tear because I thought now I won't be able to find you a Special gift for my Dad anymore.

Hi grandpa,
I was thinking about you so much this morning so I decided why not write something. I miss you so much, I can't believe you're gone. I feel like a part of myself is also gone. I feel like I won't be the person I used to be when you were here. I was in the state of mind where I was asking why did god do this to us?, why did he take you? And I know he took you because your job here was done and he didn't want you to suffer anymore. You hated going to dialyses and all that. It took a lot out of you. You were strong and you held on for us all for a long time. I thank you for everything you've done for me, even the little things i'll miss the most. I love you and I'll see you soon!
