it's been over a year now; what a year it has been...we've all had our ups and downs, just trying to move on and forget is harder then i could have ever thought. i don't think I'll ever forget about you, you were my best friend and more then that...it seems i struggle every day just trying to fix the problems you leaving has caused. i... we all miss you.nothing is the same with out you here, i remember the last thing you told me..be strong and succeed where i have failed; take are of the family and johnny i love you...you know that right? even as i write this i feel the tears fall from my face and my hands shake fiercely. there are few things that run deeper then blood, and our bond was one of those things. i'll never forget what you've taught me; though your lessons were often harsh i thank you for them. my favorite memory of you i when you and dad taught me to fish when we were campin' and i got the line stuck in the tree. i still have the knife you gave me all those years ago... its still sharp as the day you gave it to me. man when you sharpened a blade it would cut through bone like butter. i only have one regret, that is that i didn't get to say good bye. i promised i'd better my self, and i am. few months back i got a new tattoo to remember you by. its an eagle with a banner that reads: grampy. that was what i always called you and that's how i'll always remember you as my grandfather. my own personal hero, and pillar of strength. when ever i felt like i couldn't go on i just remember your fight with cancer and how you fought it for so many years, and a fire re-ignites in my stomach pushing me onward and forcing me to do my best. i love you grampy. i know where ever you are now, you'll be saving a seat for me next to you. don't worry i'll bring our guns and, and fishing poles so we can hunt and fish one last time together.
