It's your Day Grandpa!!!
You stayed with us through so much pain to make sure you could say goodbye to everyone and I'll never forget that. I know for a fact you're enjoying you're day up there Grandpa😁🙏☝️
There was so much more I know Mia, Sam, and I wanted to say but if we were up there any longer we would be knee deep in tears and or I would've destroyed the podium before Sam and Mia said there speeches 🤦♂️. I know you didn't want me or anyone to shed tears and for us all to stay strong but I had to crack. Mia and Sam even mentioned "we're not gonna cry anymore...unless you cry during your speech bc you haven't cried at all" oh boy did I mess that up 😅. The moment everyone sang "Amazing Grace" I lost it, and then right after that were the speeches. It would take another life time for me to be on par with your strength. I have never seen you shed a tear once in my life, I doubt you'd let me. But when the first friend you ever make in this world says goodbye forever... You either break down where no one can see or where everyone can see you. Sadness and the happiness of knowing you aren't hurting anymore shed from everyone in that room. I will remember you as strong, disciplined, trusting, humble, loving, and most of all caring, these are just a few. I hope to have all of these in my character till my last day. Thank you for the work you put in to bring the family to the U.S. None of the opportunities, experiences, pictures, and memories we have as a family would exist if you hadn't made the exact choices and sacrifices that you did. Once again, enjoy not your day, but your days because everyday is your day up there.
