Jess what a lovely rememberance for a very special person - your Grandpa. Alas you've found the truth of mourning a loved one - it doesn't 'go away' at all. Hopefully, the pain will lessen as years go by.
But be prepared - suddenly a piece of music, their birthday, the anniversary of the day they died, someone who walks like them - the list is endless - and you're broken hearted again and again and again.
I think your Grandpa was such a lucky, loved man to have such a loving Grand-daughter. I think he's looking down and smiling at you right now - how proud he is. xxx
{{{Hugs}}} across the miles Jess - thank you for sharing this with us - we feel honoured.
