What Really Makes Me Sad

By: Lila

What really makes me sad is thinking about my Grandpa who passed away last September. He lived in Iowa and I went to his funeral there. The reason it makes me sad thinking about him is because he was really special to me and it was hard to loose him. When I went to the funeral, all my cousins were there and we saw lots of good pictures of his memories. I actually saw him in the coffin and I touched his hand and I cried. It definitely didn’t look like the Grandpa I knew. When the burial happened, my whole family put roses and flowers in his grave. Now, whenever I go to Iowa I think about him. I always go visit his grave and, if anyone, my grandma is the saddest.

Lila,
My grandpa passed away a while before I was born. I am so sorry yours just left too. Always remember the fun times you had with him. And never forget he still loves you!

Lila,

Both of my grandparents died long before I was born. I never had a grandpa growing up, but I had three grandmas. Nicholas is lucky because he has two grandpas to do things with and visit. Even though your grandpa is gone, you have memories of him that will stay with you your whole life. I'm sure he's watching you as you grow and smiling down on you.
