| Me and Grandpa at my grad party |
On Tuesday, we celebrated my Grandpa's 2 year death anniversary. I grew up with my grandparents (on my mom's side) living with me, my brother, my parents, and my auntie. We basically had 5 parents looking out for us and taking care of us. I don't think I'll ever stop missing him. But I'm thankful for everything he has done for me. He never really said, "I love you", but his actions already showed me that he did.
