I'm so sorry about your loss. Your grandfather sounded like a wonderful man and I can tell how close you two were. I think the tattoo is a beautiful tribute to him and I hope that every time you look at it, it brings back a happy memory of him, the two of you together! <br /><br />Take care!Nataliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14999334781498930101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686004642769751174.post-63143045357171668042011-01-04T15:54:59.786-08:002011-01-04T15:54:59.786-08:00Even after all these years, I have tears in my eye...Even after all these years, I have tears in my eyes missing my grandmother. She made me feel the way your grandfather did for you. <br /><br />I think your tattoo, which is cool, is a WONDERFUL way to pay homage to a man that you will always love. :)Libby's Pink Vanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12373027910619247431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686004642769751174.post-37019051726633440652011-01-04T14:05:06.929-08:002011-01-04T14:05:06.929-08:00I've been slacking, eating crap, and lurking f...I've been slacking, eating crap, and lurking for months now... but I had to comment on this one. I lost my grandfather a little over a year ago and my heart goes out to you. In my case, I loved him dearly. I was his little girl; and for awhile, I actually felt shame about how quickly life returned to normal. I realized later that life goes on. His life was long, and full, and is finished. But his life still pops up at odd times; when I have the desire to put my popcorn in a paper sack, when I see a bird knick knack, or when I hear someone singing silly nursery rhymes. You needed (and still do) need time to mourn; but life also goes on, and that's good! Just honor him. Through your tattoo, and through your life, and through your memories. And your blog... cuz I missed reading it. :)Amy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12833449419077029490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686004642769751174.post-7270336490257884392011-01-04T12:45:05.094-08:002011-01-04T12:45:05.094-08:00Thank you so much to all of you :) for your sweet ...Thank you so much to all of you :) for your sweet thoughts and words. He really was amazing and a true patriarch like you just don't see anymore...glad to report I'm already dealing a lot better, even though I'm sure it will be a long process!<br /><br />@Arlene I'm so sorry about your uncle. That is awful. I feel the same way about my other grandparents too, the pain might be less sharp but it's always there I guess just to let us know we'll never stop missing those people in our lives.KyokoCakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291866202312903020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686004642769751174.post-9875583946712679512011-01-04T11:48:02.127-08:002011-01-04T11:48:02.127-08:00Love the tat.

We're coming up on the 4 year anniversary of his death this month, and while it is easier, I still cry if I let myself think too much about how amazing he was and how he's not here now. <br />Please handle your grief in whatever way feels comfortable to you, and embrace the different stages. No one can tell you how to grieve, and the process is different for everyone.<br />My heart is with you!!<br /><br />Arlene<br /><br />PS<br />LOVE the tattoo!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686004642769751174.post-1538247831128626142011-01-04T09:49:29.991-08:002011-01-04T09:49:29.991-08:00Oh my goodness, hun..
