There are few relationships where the love is virtually unconditional and endless. The bond between a grandfather and a granddaughter is really special.
It's his Birthday todayy! I cannot explain the feeling I have in my heart right now.
He believed in Celebrations! Yess! Whatever! Whatever the occasion is! And today, I am doing the same. Celebrating his Birthday, with all his memories! :)
Maybe, I miss him more because I am his first grandchild! Although my mom was married to my father when I was born! LOL
Well, He was a Man of his words! He was loving, firm and straightforward ;)
He had a head of figures. Before you put your head up, he'd tell you your total! My father and me inherited these qualities from him! :)
Two days back, I saw an old man with little grey hairs, holding the back of her granddaughter's bicycle so that she doesn't fall off. They were happy to be with each other. I could feel the bond between them.
That was a moment! The sound of the Bloody car Horn made me realized I was staring them.
That made me miss my grandfather!
These are the earliest teachings, riding a bicycle for the first time, bloodying hands and knees. At my time, Grandpaa and Dad both consoled me as I wondered if I should ever ride again.
Those were the days! He would pick me up after school. He had a Kinetic! And I loved to ride on that!
My mother was a stickler when it came to Homework, always making me start right away. He used to save me from this torture!
He was biased towards me Always! I was truly loved.
What I felt that parents always judge you, they say you shouldn't do this, you shouldn't do that. But your grandparents will always be on your side even if you're wrong!
But a few years ago he became ill, he got a paralytic attack, the whole right side of the body got paralyzed.
He was in hospital for some months and some years at home! It was sad to see him suffer like that. And within 4 years this amazing man with a heart larger than life itself, passed away! I could not show my feelings! I always hide it!
Well But Now, I have something to say!
Dear Grandpaa,
You have been, and always will be, the best man I have ever known. You give selflessly and provide for others in all that you do; I admire that so much about you and hope to live my life in the same manner.
It's hard to believe that you have been gone, gone forever! Although I'm glad you don't have to suffer anymore, I still miss you!
You're presence can still be felt. You raised my parents in such a way that no one else could have done a better job. They are so good to me! I wish I could have you back. I wish you were here to watch me grow up. You went in such a hurry that you did not even give me a last chance to give you one last hug.
Anyways! It's your Birthday, I just got striked by one of those days when we use to surprise you with a cake on your Birthday! I could see the Happiness in your eyes! This makes me miss you even more!
Thank you for being such a wonderful role model and leaving a lasting impression on my life. I hope to always make you proud.
I take great comfort in knowing that when its my turn to leave Earth, you'll be there to greet me. Knowing this has taken away my fear of death.
Have fun in Heaven! :)
This is super private and personal but I’m sharing this because I hope you will be kind to your grandparents. Tell them how you feel. Tell them you appreciate them. Tell them that their life has great meaning to you. Say the things that you don’t normally say, or maybe haven’t ever said.
I feel it because nobody was there to tell me this! I lost my chance! :/
P.S- I miss you!
