I will always be grateful for the lessons you taught me - how to love unconditionally, how to be patient, and how to smile even in the face of anger. Your selflessness and generosity have been an inspiration to me, and I am so thankful for the love and support you showed me as your adopted son.
You were a gift that kept giving, and I will cherish the memories we created together. Although I knew you said you would wait to see my baby, your passing before time has left me with a sense of loss and longing.
I miss your voice calling out my name with excitement, "Chrisssstopheeeeer!!!". It was a sound that brought me joy and made me feel loved.
You will always be in our hearts, and I take comfort in knowing that we will meet again to path no more.
Goodnight, Granddaddy.
