"Grandpa, It's been 2 years tomorrow since you passed away. On one hand, it feels like it's been so long, and, yet, on the other, it's hard to believe it's already been 2 years. This Friday I am going to get a cross tattoo (for you...even though I know how much you just love tattoos...lol). It's really important to me!!! I'm hoping it will help me get a little bit of closure that I've been longing for! I'm also doing something in July that you'd be so proud of me for...I'm going to walk in the Relay for Life, FOR YOU! I can't wait!!! Grandpa, I miss you every single day! I wish I could talk to you again! My life has changed so drastically since I got to see you! I hope your looking down, though, & see I am happy! I made some mistakes along the way...we all do, but I am happy now! I think I could go on & on & on forever, but I suppose I should just close now. I love you very much & I miss you more than I could ever explain! I hope you are up there in Heaven doing all the things you love to do!!! Love Always, Your Kimmy :) P.S. On a lighter/funny note...I hope your singing your favorite song..."Please 'sit down'" by Eminem :) LOL"
In loving memory of
