It has been ten years since I last saw your smiling face.

You told me you were going home, asked if I wanted to go.

If only I knew then how true those word would be.  

 It feels like yesterday and yet also a lifetime ago.

I miss you very much!

 

I miss your smile,

I miss seeing you make Grandma smile too.

I miss the way you would sing my name

But most of all I miss

having a picture with you at my wedding

seeing you play with my children

they would love you so.

 

Thank you Grandpa

for being such a wonderful example

of what a loving Husband is

a loving Father is

a loving Grandfather is

a loving Great Grandfather is

 

Thank you Grandpa

for raising up such wonderful children

for being stalwart in the Gospel

for never letting us doubt your love for us

for the special blessing of Families are Forever

 

And though I cannot see you

I know you are always near

Thank you for letting me know

You are Proud of me.

 

There is nothing I want more

Than to make you proud

everyday of my life.

I love you.
