Hey

Well, you made it. 100 years old. That's pretty incredible. Hey, listen. I know I can't be there right now but at least my dad, your son is there while you lay there without an understanding of what's going on. With your alzheimers and now being deaf, this can't exactly be easy.

Im not the type of person to say things out loud because I just get anxious. But I'm writing you this because I wanted to tell you that it's been an absolute honor being your grandson. I know, I didn't visit you enough when I was a kid but we were still really close. I heard stories about you growing up in Italy, saw pictures of you as a kid. It seems like you're whole life has been to always aim upwards. I mean, you were chopping down trees and building houses when you were 95, remember? Unfortunately I don't think you do. But I do.

You're basically my hero. I've always done my best to be the best I can be because you proved that anyone can do anything. The only thing stopping you is yourself. Your dedication to family and everything else are also a big part of you. When Grandma died, I can't imagine what that must have been like for you. Especially with you going through the beginning stages of Alzhiemers at the time. Never forget that you two were together for over 60 years. That's just incredible. True love in its finest form.

So, I hope you have the opportunity to pass peacefully and enjoy your life with your wife. Family, and friends are all thinking of you and we love and care about you. You lived your life to the fullest all the way to 100. You're an inspiration. In the coming days, we will lay you down to an eternal rest, but just remember that you will be doing so alongside your wife. She's been waiting to see you.

I'm glad I got to see you before you go.

Thanks for everything.

disclaimer: yes, I will be sending this to him. But I felt it was also worth sharing publicly especially with this being a personal journal is all. I love to write, and I feel this fit perfectly.
