Not a day goes by that I don’t think of my day and uncle Fred
It’s been ten years today grandpa since you were last here with us, I just wanna say that I miss you and That it feels like just yesterday I was a little boy going to your celebration of life, I remember all of the amazing things people said about you like how your energy could fill a room and how you were the party. You are sweet giving and and a joker that cared so much about his family. I also remember not feeling any pain or grief until everyone left the celebration that was done for you, how I broke down realizing I would never get to freak out again to another one of your practical jokes, like the dragons that you said were locked in your Basment and the wolves that we would go out searching for at night. I also remembered the fact I would never get to go back to your home to eat your black Liquorice and chocolate that you would keep in your wash room next to your tooth brush. When I remembered these things and was alone with your urn I cried realizing I would never see you again, then your son David juffermans came in and saw that little 8 year old me was crying he got down on one knee and had asked me why “I was crying” I had responded to him saying I was never going to see Oppy again, David laughed at me and had said “What are you talking about Oppy is coming home with us and there’s no need to cry because he loved you very much and he will always be around” I then whipped my tears away and David put his hand on my back and we proceeded to go talk to family. When we got home my mom Shannon drake and David juffermans had taken some of my Grandpas things and put in on a table with some lights around and put his urn right in the middle, Shannon and David then called out the two other grandchildren Kaitlin and Kane. They explained that grandpas ashes was now living with us and that he was in a better place the two other grandchildren were Too young to understand so they just played with Their toys.
I wish you never had to leave us grandpa there would have been so many more amazing memories we could have built together, but I’m grateful I met you and that you gave me your love even though I was not your biological Grandchild you treated me as if I was gold and I will never forget how special you made me feel. I will also continue to have conversations about you and to continue talking out loud in my biggest moments like when I got a job and my first car. I feel if you could be here you would be so I just imagine that you are, any ways I love you and miss you so much I hope your proud of the man I’m becoming and if your not scare the crap out of me in my sleep or something.
Always remembered Always loved.
