My Grandpa

My grandfather was the toughest, most unremarkable person ever. He was unlike anyone I have ever met. He always had so many stories and life lessons to share with us. He was unconventional in the best way possible. Grandpa 鈥済rrrrr鈥� you are truly missed. I would give anything to have another big bear hug and to hear you say, 鈥渉i baby!鈥� We miss you so much and we know how hard you fought. Any time Johnny Cash comes on, I will always think of you. Thank you for the endless laughs and unconditional love

Your favorite thing to do with your loved one:

I loved listening to his stories about his younger years. His favorite thing was to debate with us and push our buttons.

His greatest milestone or accomplishment:

His family!

Something he taught that sticks with you, or his best piece of advice:

He made me the tough, independent person I am today. He may have shown me tough love but he always supported me no matter what.

How pandemic conditions affected his care or your ability to support him in his illness: 

I was unable to say goodbye due to COVID restrictions in the hospital. It went downhill very quickly and we were only communicating through facetime. I regret being far away and I was not able to go see him.

If he were here today, what would you like to say to him?

Thank you for always pushing me to be better.
