Mourning

Another light has gone in my life - and once again the world shines a little less -

My Grandfather died today. And I wish I had called him last night. I wish I had said something more. I wish I had been closer. I wish I could have said Goodbye. I wish I could have been there. I wish.....

But you knew, did you? You knew I loved you.

And I know you are with my Dad, and Nana. And I know you will be with me always.

He was a great man; a man that saw only what could be done, and not what could not. He found strength in times of sadness, and lightness in times of darkness. He commanded respect, and offered kindness in return. His love was unconditional and loyalty was ever faithful.

His life was the stuff of legends, but to me he was Papa. And he always will be.

I hope I made you proud Papa.

You will always be my Papa.

I love you.
