I know he would understand and that gives me comfort. The world is a little less beautiful without him. I didn't get to say goodbye, but I will just do it in my own way privately (and I guess a little with this blog post).
You will be missed Poppy
Yesterday afternoon, 3 days after his 81st birthday, my grandfather passed away. He was an amazing person and a superb grandfather. I loved him terribly so and will miss him beyond words can express. Unfortunately, I will not be able to fly home to NJ for the services. I currently have tickets to head there for mid-April, but to change or buy new tickets it would cost 2000-3000 dollars (for 2 tickets) and that was with the bereavement prices. And that is just not going to happen.

i am so sorry for your loss & the helplessness you probably feel about not being able to go there. hopefully posting does lighten the heart just a little, i know it does for me sometimes. it's so terribly hard to lose a special one like a grandpa. my heart & my warm thoughts are with you. pat
It is so nice that you love your grandfather so much and that he meant so much to you in your life. I think he would understand too. I am sorry for your loss. This is a wonderful tribute to him and just reading this brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you to both of you. Its been a rough week, and can't believe a week has passed already.
I never saw this post. ((HUGS)) to you and your family. All my best.
