I love my Grandpa, we were close, we had a special connection, whenever I was around him, I felt ok and was able to be. You know someone you can just sit with comfortably in silence? I still miss him, although I'm not still cut up or something by his death. When he died I grieved big time, let it all out and then was able to move on.
Five years ago I was also a different person, and very ill person. In some ways it makes me sad Grandpa never saw me as I am today: well, healthy and stronger. But he was also one of the few people, who saw me past me illness saw the person not the sickness, loved and excepted me for who I was.

What a beautiful post Jess. It sounds like he was an exceptional man. I'm positive he would be very proud of who you are today and not at all surprised. X
bless!
Knowing he was a religious man, I am sure he would be looking down on you, as proud as punch!
:)
Not sure what you were sick with, but this time 5 years ago I was a very sick person too. It is amazing to look back in time and realise just how far you have come!!!

Easter is not a good time for our family either. I lost my mother-in-law on Easter Sunday, my sister lost her mother-in-law on Easter Sunday & one of my sisters-in-law who lost her mother on Easter Sunday, also lost her mother-in-law on Easter Sunday. Got that?? All to breast cancer!! Needless to say we fundraise for the cause. Thoughts with you, i'm heading to Sydney (from Canberra) to spend time with my father-in-law, as his son is at war (my husband) & both daughters too busy. I think 4 grandchildren will do the trick. Love Posie
ohhh Jess, i am thinking of you on this day & also shedding a few tears as it is also a fresh grief for us aswell, as we will spend our first easter without my dad.
you are a very talented, beautiful, sweet & special person & I am sure as Jessi said, your grandpa is looking down at you & proud of who you are.
hugs to you gorgeous girl
