what i didn't get to say...

i wanted to write you a letter. i wanted to tell you how much a part of my life you were. i want to tell you all the things i love about you and how you always made me laugh. the memories i have with you. the desert house, the cabin, your home, mine, hawaii, i love you grandpa.

there is too much to say and my heart is not ready to divulge it all yet. i cry when i am alone. i cry because i miss you. i miss your funny antics, and how you always wanted me to make you a burnt CD or tape for your car, you always wanted to listen to what i loved and you were one hip grandpa listening to joni mitchell and janis joplin. i love you.

you were always so hip on my new ideas. you bought me a guitar and got me lessons. you wore my hemp attire proudly and bragged when complimented by strangers. you gave me painting gear so that i could be just like you, the best painter i know. i love you.

you took me college hunting grandpa. you took me all over state by car to give me a future. i'm almost there grandpa. i have alittle over a week before i get that degree i always promised. i wish more than anything that you could be there to see me graduate. i know you'd be so proud. i know that the smile on your face would be unimagineable. i love you grandpa.

you gave me the love and support that made me who i am today. a buddy, a friend, a kind hearted, spunky, hip man...my grandpa. i love you.

i know you are in a better place now. i know that you are at peace and that i shouldn't worry about you anymore. i know that no more bad can happen to you...but i...i love you grandpa.

i have your picture beside my bed and your face is burnt on my heart. i will never forget the love and support you gave me. i love you.

there arn't enough hours in the night to tell you how many memories i have stored in my head. one day i will get it ALL out. one day i will be able to smile instead of cry when i think of you. i love you grandpa. more than i ever got the chance to let you know.
