This is something I could hear my grandfather telling us from all the way up in Heaven. My grandfather passed away last September from cancer, and it killed me inside. I cried, and cried, and cried some more. I still cry. All someone has to say is grampa and I cry. I miss him. So much. But I recently knew what he was trying to tell me on the last day I got with him. I get it now.. here's his message.

 When I must leave you for a little while, 

Please do not grieve & shed wild tears

and hug your sorrow to you

through the years

But start out bravely with a gallant smile, 

and for me sake, and in my name

Live on & do all the things

just the same.

Feed not your lonliness

on empty days

but fille ach waking hour

in useful ways

Reach out your hand in comfort

and in cheer

and I in turn, will comfort you

and hold you near.

And never, never be afraid to die

for I am waiting for you in the sky.
