The late Queen once famously shared her thoughts on grief, saying that it was "the price we pay for love". In the wake of my grandfather's recent death, I've found myself contemplating her words.
That was a wonderful tribute to your family and upbringing. I’d like to say that grief goes away but it doesn’t, it just changes so there are more happy days and the memories more often make us smile than cry. My Uncle Don, your Grandpa probably read your piece with a smile on his face , a lifting of his shoulders and turned to tell the others in heaven how proud he is and that life goes on.

That made me cry! Thank you for your words, I appreciate them.
Beautifully said … a real heart felt piece - you did your Grandpa PROUD!!! You’re a fabulous writer ✍🏻
Thank you, that’s very kind. He was a true role model. We all miss him very much.
Beautiful tribute to a wonderful man.
He was everything I aspire to be. Miss him very much.
