The biggest thing I regret is not valuing my grandfather and adopted father enough. I didn’t realize all of the wonderful things he had accomplished in his lifetime until I got older. I’m blessed to have been adopted and raised by you. I find comfort in knowing that you’re no longer suffering. You were the man I looked up to. You provided for me and made sure I never went without anything I needed or wanted in all the years of my life and you’re still looking out for me. I love you and I miss you so much.
