A New Path Grandpa You are such a prefect example of what a grandpa should be. There are no words to say to take away the pain of loosing truly, the greatest grandpa that I could have ever asked for. As I'm standing at the end of this road in my life, I've thought about the path that we have taken and the many memories with you that will always remain forever in my heart, I'm thinking of a new journey. Today is not so much about saying goodbye but more so saying lets begin a new path together. As I let go of your hand and walk down a new road without you, and you walk the stairs to heaven I shall not think of it as saying my last goodbye. Mornings will still be bright with your presence as I wake up and think of you. Nights shall not be lonesome but simply peaceful as I will always say goodnight and throw you a kiss. Days will be sunny as you whisper to me through the wind and your spirit shines warmly on me through the sun. I carry with me the most precious gift, and that is the gift of your memory. Always will I remember you, and carry you in my heart every moment. As I prepare for this new difficult journey of living without you, I shall keep you close to my heart and talk not of sadness but of the greatest moments that we have shared through the years. I shall look up to all the stars in the night sky and see you looking over me. When life gets tough for me, I will still seek guidance from you and know that you will always be here with me. When I miss you most and start getting sad again I will talk to you and know that you are still listening. Our new paths begin now, I thought I wasn't ready but as you have always touched me with your courage and strength, you have taught me to be strong. My tears I cry today are of sadness for I will miss you so terribly words cant even express, but soon those tears will be of peacefulness for you now that I know you are at home, you can breathe again and you are of no pain. Although, the pain in my heart will remain for some time, I have faith that I will come to peace too. May you rest now as you patiently wait for us to meet again, then is when we shall start a new path to eternity, hand in hand. Always and forever I love you, your little girl and grand daughter, I love you to the heavens and back. Christina Friedel
