I still do this today, even though my Mom as been gone for 57 years. I was 8 1/2 when she passed and she has answered a lot of questions for me. Your Grandpa, my Mom and God have the universal answers, we just have to learn to listen. Take Care and God Bless you both. Mary p.s. Don't forget to say thank you. <br />Midnite Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243767290653437535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-7030374847914751262013-12-13T16:48:22.664-06:002013-12-13T16:48:22.664-06:00I am sorry to hear of your loss; know that you are...I am sorry to hear of your loss; know that you are in my thoughts!!!

I know you feel your loss acutely. I felt the lack acutely and have no memories to hold. I am sorry you have no relatives to continue with you, but your partner and you have many memories yet to make. {{{ hugs}}}Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-18236021858857664432013-12-10T21:25:23.471-06:002013-12-10T21:25:23.471-06:00I hope you two find peace, my friends.

He passed away more than 50 years ago, but he is still with me in spirit daily. I honestly feel like he has been the angel on my shoulder through the years. There have been a few happenings in my life that had no other explanations....there was no doubt Grandpa was right there with me. I'd bet your Grandfather is the angel on your shoulder now.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-58168170282712761482013-12-10T08:35:45.552-06:002013-12-10T08:35:45.552-06:00I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. :( He...I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. :( He seemed like a wonderful man. Forward thinking is right - when I came out to my dad a couple of years before he died, he was completely supportive as well, which is surprising for a very traditional Roman Catholic Vietnamese father.
