I remember the day like it was yesterday.
I try to block out his thinning face, his fragile frame, his ghostly eyes. That’s not the man I knew.
I remember the hospital room filled with family.
I remember holding his hand and whispering in his ear that I loved him so.
I remember the call, the tears and the heartache.
I remember the day the cancer finally took him from us, ten years ago today, like it just happened.
I’ve written about my grandpa before.
I hate that he never had the chance to meet my children or come to my wedding. I just tell myself that he was there in spirit. That he’s always there.
He was such a special man and I miss his greatly.
I just hope he’s in a much better place: happy and carefree.
I love you grandpa.

I’m sorry about your grandpa. I still remember the day my grandma lost her battle with cancer. I will remember the song playing on the radio, how warm it was, the wind that hit my face. Grandparents are the best.
