Grandma,
It unfortunate that during our life's we experience feelings of sorrow.
There are times that no matter what the sorry and heartache seem to overrun
the special moments. Grandpa had many good years here, filled with laughter,
and smiles, and pain due to his condition. He's at peace now, no pain, no
heartache, just the soft wind and sunlight glowing on his face as he watches
down over everyone. Grandpa had the kindness heart, would do anything he
could to help his fellow neighbor and friends.. Without doubt, pain will be
in everyone's heart due to his departure. Its hard not to let tears run down
one's face when thinking of the loss of a loved one...Instead think of the
happy special moments, the moments when life was great, filled with
joy...one day...when the time is right.. those joyful feelings, smiles, and
warm hugs will be reunited. |
