I Remember

I remember… when we camped out in the living room and
set up all of the collectible trains on Christmas Day and
called road call every time we got in the car and
went to the ice cream shop just down the road and
we made flapjacks in the shape of our names and
had fun every time I was at your house and
you never told me you were going to leave me
that one day in September
Love You, Grandpa

Wow. That was pretty sad. I'm really sorry about your loss. Your grandfather seems like an amazing soul! What memories do you have of him today? Do you have a photograph of him that you could append to this? That would be so swell! How honorable of a bound did you and your grandfather have? Do you really conceive that there is rebirth? If so, what do you imagine your grandpa will come back as?

What a lovely memoir(I could totally be using this wrong) type thing. I wonder what kind of man he was now.
