Grandpa, you've been gone for 3 years now. I have done a lot of things wrong to you and to grandma as well. I made decisions that weren't all that good, I regret all of them but what I regret the most is I didn't apologize for them. It was too late to do so and too late to take any of it back.
I still remember the day when Aloha called me and told me you left us. The pain that I felt in my heart, the throbbing I felt in my entire body, I remember it like it was yesterday. I couldn't breathe, I was gasping for air and I was crying uncontrollably. The one man that has been there for me my entire life, the man that supported all of my dreams, the man that took me in when my own father didn't want to have anything to do with me, left. It felt like a part of me was gone and I knew it would never come back.
You were my backbone, you were the one that made me who I am today. You were the one that was suppose to scream for me on my graduation, the one that i wanted to walk me down that Isle when I got married.
You pushed me so hard to graduate school, to make life better for myself. You made me believe in myself when nobody else did, when I didn't even believe in me. You've been there for me as long as I can remember, you made me look at life as something to love. You made me think that there was a bright side to everything.
As years went by, I never forgot about you and I never forgot about what you told me. " You can do great things, just put your mind to it. Once you set your mind to it, you can do anything. " I keep those words in the back of my mind when I feel like I've had enough, when it feels like I can't go on.
I love you and I love grandma to the bottom of my heart, you guys went too soon. There was more questions that I needed to ask, more things that I wanted to tell you guys. But you both are on a better place, you guys are finally free. Forever you will be in my heart as my hero, savior and as the man who never abandoned me. I miss and love you.
