Loss of My Grandpa

Dear, Grandpa
I remember that exact day the ambulance showed up at our house and we all watched you go to the hospital, that day I had that feeling something bad was going to occur A couple days later I was at my cousins house and once I got home from there I broke into tears after hearing the about the loss. I was so worried that day and couldn’t stop thinking about you, I didn’t want to lose you, and you always played such a key part in my life. I remember that night I spent hours flipping through old photo albums of all the memories we made.
6 years have passed since then and yet I still struggle to accept your loss. Every day is a new day, but I can never forget about you and all the memories we created in the past.

    Every Christmas Eve our family gathers around the coffee table in our apartment in New York City. During the day we go to see the tree at Rockefeller Center and buy chocolate candies from the Greenwood Pastry on the corner. Uncle Riley leads the way as we walk the streets until the light begins to fade between the office towers and the crippled gargoyles forever perched on the corners of the buildings that illuminate a golden age gone by. We laugh together and reminisce about the previous Christmases we have spent together. The elevator seems quieter on these nights, almost as if it has a respect for the holiday, but I know it’s just because we’re all crammed in there together.…
