Your wedding day, even in the peak of Covid we had a good time lol. 💙🙏🏾🕊️

Granddad / My OG,

I am writing this with a heart that feels both full of love and heavy with loss. 💔🥺 Even though you are no longer here with me in the way I wish you could be, your presence still surrounds me in memories, lessons, and the person I have become because of you.

I keep thinking about your voice, your laughter, and the quiet strength you carried. You were my guide in so many ways — steady, patient, and always there when I needed you. I am grateful for every story you told, every piece of wisdom you shared, and every moment we spent together, no matter how small.

I miss you more than words can truly express. There are so many things I wish I could still tell you, ask you, or simply sit beside you and talk about. But I find comfort in knowing that your love is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Thank you for everything you were to me, a granddad, a protector, a teacher, and a source of warmth. I hope you are at peace, and I hope somehow you know how much you were and still is loved. Until I see you again wrap your now heavenly arms around me as these days seem harder and harder! 💙🕊️🫂

Heaven was ready to receive another angel but our hearts wasn’t ready to separate. You were a great man, son, brother, father, grandfather, husband and friend. 💙 You’re going to truly be missed but never forgotten. I love you and I’ll always cherish the years GOD gave me with you. Until we see each other again, watch over me OG. ❤️‍🩹🕊️🫂
