Thank You

You have no idea how much you mean to me. You did so much for my sisters and I when we were growing up. From changing our diapers, to cooking for us, picking us up from school, taking us out to eat, and buying us everything you thought we’d like, you did everything that a grandpa should have done and so much more. I never showed enough of my appreciation before, so I hope it's not too late now.
You never got the chance to teach me inside a classroom, but the things I’ve learned from you, I’ll carry them with me forever. You taught me the importance of family and the power of love, faith, and selflessness. You make me believe that with hard work, anything is possible. Because of you, I’m not afraid to stand up for what I believe in.
Even though you’ve gone to a better place now; you’ll always be in my heart. No one could ever replace you and the memories that I have of you will never be forgotten. Whether you’re waiting outside to pick me up from preschool or looking out for me from heaven, I know you’ll always be there when I need you.
I miss you. I love you. But most of all, I wanted to thank you. On the day of my kindergarten graduation, you said to me, “ One day, I’ll be watching you graduate from college.” Nothing’s changed. I know you’ll be there.

thats deep, bobo. it reminded me of when i played in the bowl game my first year at laney... everyone flew to alabama for my grandpas funeral and even though no one was in the stands for me, i knew that he was watching from above. i dedicated that game to him and it ended up being my best game of the season. reading this blog entry gave me the same feeling/chills that i had when i thought about my grandpa. just know that your grandpa made you into a great person. no grandpa could ask for a better granddaughter.
