My grandpa passed away two weeks and the funeral was last weekend. I am happy that he is no longer suffering, but I am sad that he could not forever remain the grandpa I knew growing up. Sadly, death is inevitable and separation needs to occur.
I have fond memories of grandpa taking me fishing when I was a child, teasing me about boyfriends when I was a teenager and attending my graduations and wedding when I was an adult. He always showed interest in what I was doing. I will miss his quick wit and sense of humor. Although over the years I would come and go, one thing always remained the same, 3 o'clock coffee time at grandma and grandpa's. He would often drink his coffee from the saucer and loved chocolate treats. Coffee time at my grandparent's house will just not be the same without him. I am so glad that I was able to see him one last time and introduce him to Micah before he died. I will always treasure those memories. Love you and miss you, Grandpa.
Sorry to hear of your loss, but glad that you are comforted by the fond memories you have of your grandpa.
