I have so many things I want to say but I will try to keep it simple. Thank you.
Thank you for all the wonderful memories. Thank you for letting me follow you around without my shirt on because you also did not have it on and sit with you in your yellow bean bag chair. Thank you for teaching me how to make jame and lending me your stuffed green bell pepper recipe.
You have been a wonderful grandfather and godparent to me. You have shown me so many beautiful things.
I always knew that you cared. While I was in Okinawa, when I came home to visit we talked about the weather over there and when you went to Japan.
I know you are in peace now, and eventually so will I. I'm just sorry I couldn't say goodbye. I hope to one day see you again and make up for that. Until then, I have written you this letter letting you know how much I will miss you, how much I cared for you, and how you will always have a place in my thoughts and heart.
I love you,
Dora
PS- If you see my mom, say Hi to her for me and please fill her in. ;)
Peter Gabriel- I Grieve
It was only one hour ago
It was all so different then
Nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did
This flesh and bone
Its just the way that we are tied in
But there's no one home
We (I) grieve, for you
You leave, us (me)
So hard to move on
Still loving what's gone
They say life carries on
Carries on and on and on
