Grampa I miss you sooooooo much. I was and always will be a grampas girl. No one loved me as pure as you did. You always had a way of making me feel like somehow everything was going to be ok. I could always count on you for anything I needed. What I will miss most is just seeing you every day and hearing your voice, hanging out watching Steve Wilkos and making you you oatmeal or tortillas with green chili. If I had five more minutes with you I would just hug you and tell you how important you are and always have been to me and how I wouldnt be who I am today without your love. I promise to take good care of my mom for you and I will see you again. You are back with your soulmate now and Jesus and Uncle Dave and my cuz Nicky. I know you are happy and healthy and having a awesome time. I couldnt be blessed with a more awesome set of guardian angles. LuMuKu Forever
