What Grandpa Means to Me

Grandpa means a whole lot to
me. Grandpa gives me a lot of
love. He s nice, he's cute and
he's always there when you need
him. All of his family loved him
very much. I loved him very
much. I miss him a whole lot
but I will get over it because we
all have to go. I'm glad that he
died quietly. But what gets me so
much is that he came to us for a
vacation and ended up in the
hospital. He just wants to say to
all of you that he loves you.
Grandpa was a very good man.
He always went fishing with my
dad and he always told funny
jokes. He s loved his wife and
his family and his friends very
much. I wrote this letter because
I wanted to share rpy feelings
with you.
