Heart Touching Letter About Absence of a Grandfather.
My grandfather died the year before I was born. As kids, my cousins used to make fun of me, wondering why I should even visit his grave.
Dear Grandpa, I miss you very much. I wish you were here. I want you to come back more than anything else.
You didn’t pick up my phone calls and ignored my letters, but I just want you to know that I love and miss you so much.
Grandpa, I am writing this letter to you because I miss you so much. I wish you were here to tell me stories, play ball with me and take me fishing.
It sucks not having a grandpa since you left us. I would do anything to have you back in my life. I love you and miss you ever so much.
Grandpa, I wish you were here. Grandma still does too.
I’m sorry we didn’t come to visit as much as we should have but we just can’t live up to the hole that is left in our hearts since you’ve been gone.
I have always looked up to you and I will miss my grandfather. I wish we could have visited more often.
My grandfather’s passing caused me to realize that life is too short.
I’m glad we had more time together near the end of his life. I hope he is happy in heaven and that he is no longer suffering.
I don’t have the best memory. Probably because I never have time to think about it.
I have so much to do every day, there’s no free time to turn back the pages and remind myself of things that I should’ve cherished.
The only thing that can bring me back is you, and the memories we made together. You are not just my grandfather, you are also my friend.
I love you! I miss you every single day. Life was just not meant to be played out without an important piece, you.
I remember the days we took our daily walks, the talks we had, and the feelings of security and family — those feelings that I have never experienced since you passed away.
My grandfather died last night. I will truly miss him. He died of old age.
He had a good life and lived to a ripe old age, but his death is still so hard for me to bear. He was more than just a grandfather to me.
He was my best friend and confidant, he knew all my secrets and all my insecurities, but he never judged me or made me feel like less of a person.
There is a hole in my heart because of the absence of you. I miss talking to you and eating dinner with you.
I want to hear your voice, see you hug me, and tell me that everything is going to be alright.
You were there for me when no one else was. I believe in God now because he sent you back into my life.
My grandfather has just passed away. I can’t stop thinking about the memories we made. He was always there for us.
He would buy us ice cream when we were little and take us to see movies.
My grandfather also took me fishing, taught me to make craw-dads, and let me stay up late when I was a kid so that I could watch monster trucks on TV.
There are so many great stories about my grandpa.
Dear grandfather, I don’t know if you are watching us from heaven but I need to let you know how much I miss you.
Every day I wish we had more time together and every night I hope that you will visit me.
I love you with all my heart and your absence has left a void that can never be filled.
Dear Grandpa, I miss you a lot. I cry every day and I’m scared, without you.
Every night before I go to sleep,—with you in my heart,—I say: “This is all that matters.” Love you, Mommy,
I know Grandpa is looking down at us and he’s smiling because he knows we are together forever. I love you, Grandpa!
You are always on my mind and in my heart, where you will always stay. Love, your beautiful granddaughter.
On your birthday, I wish that you were here to share it with me. I remember the stories you told me; you made me laugh and taught me so much. I love you so much and miss you every day.
Grandpa, I know that you are looking down on me from heaven. I know that you are watching out for me.
You are my guardian angel and I bet you are having a great time up there. I miss you so much, but do not worry – we will meet someday again.
Grandfather! You have been gone for years and are always on my mind. Though I was only 3 years old when you passed, our love is something I remember.
I’m still little, but I am growing up into the young man you left behind.
You have a heart of gold. I am so lucky to have you in my life. I look up to you and wish to be as great as you are.
You taught me the values of life, the ideals of integrity and honesty, the importance of compassion and forgiveness and so much more.
You are my hero!!! Thanks for all the love, kindness, and example that you have given me. I miss you so much!
Grandpa, in times when we face challenges in life I look back on memories of you.
You have been there and have always encouraged me to be the best version of myself and to never give up.
I remember the time when we picked blackberries together with Grandma while she told me stories of her childhood.
I often think back to that time and am inspired to provide similar stories for my son so he knows where he came from.
my grandpa met an untimely death on December 2nd. His passing figures out to be the worst time in my life.
I miss him very much and it still feels like a dream that he’s gone. I know you are up there watching over us all. I miss you Grandfather I love you.
I remember how you used to play a song and sing for me, and I cried cuz I wanted to be like my grampa.
Then you got sick and went away, I forgot about all the talks we had, and soon the tears came. I thought it was the end but then my mum said she’s bringing grandpa home.
Grandpa, I miss you. Grandpa, I wish you were here. Grandpa, I love you! No one in the world compares.
I still remember running around the orchard playing tag with you when I was 7. Life is so different without you.
Grandma tells me stories about how you and her would go dancing at Put-in-Bay Island when she was just a girl. Life was so simple back then…but times have changed.
Dear Grandpa, I love you so much. Though our time together is over I will always keep you in my heart.
I miss you so much. Even though you’re not here in person, you are still with me every day.
I’m thinking of you as I write this letter, wishing that I had one more hug or kiss before we parted ways. You will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
Grandpa, I know you are looking down on me every day. You only live in my memories and photos now. But that is not enough for me.
I need you here with me to see your smile and hear your laugh. Family doesn’t always mean blood; it means love like ours. I love you.
I am alone without a grandfather. I remember going on trips and picking out gifts for him, but now he’s gone.
After you die, we still want to keep you with us; in our special way. This is how we will do it: the things you love aren’t lost.
We just keep them here in our hearts, so that every moment — every hour — brings them to mind.
The most important times of my childhood were spent with you. I used to think I would get married and move away to start my own family, but instead, I found you again as an adult.
You’re the grandfather who spent time with me every Sunday. I got to see you before you died for the last time, but it was not enough time for my tiny heart.
Today would’ve been your 70th birthday. I want you to know how much I miss you and love you.
I know you are watching me from Heaven, so I’m letting you know that I am still going to be the person you wanted me to be. I love you and miss you very much, Grandpa!
Dear Grandpa, I am proud to call you Grandpa. In my eyes, you are perfect. There will never be anybody who can fill your shoes.
You were always there to lend a hand when we needed it. I’ll never forget the smell of your pipe and the way you would pat my head and tell me I’m a good boy.
It has been nearly five years since you left us, but I still see your smile in my mind and hear your voice in my heart.
I will always love you, and I will not forget what a wonderful father, grandfather, husband, and friend you were!
Dear Gramps, and dear Grandpa, It’s been a long time since you have left. These days are so quiet and lonely with you not here.
I miss your hugs and the way they made me feel safe and secure.
Words have been so hard to form, I have wanted to write a letter – but the words and feelings are so clogged in my head and heart, and words get jumbled.
The loss of a loved one is always hard, but it doesn’t become easier with time.
Our thoughts stay the same over time – and our hearts hurt just as much as they did in the beginning, if not more.
I think about you every day, I miss you tons. I wish we didn’t live so far away from each other.
We have so much fun together at home and it leaves me sad when we can’t see each other for a long time. I miss you so much, and I just want to come back home.
I no longer have you here with me. There was a time I could always run to you, and now that time is over.
It’s so hard just knowing that I can’t hug you anymore, or hear your voice. I feel like a part of me has died along with you.
Your passing means the world to me, no matter what the others say! I will forever miss you, but my love for you will never end…
Dear Grandpa, I am writing to ask if you could come here for my birthday and be here with the family. I miss you a lot.
You are always in my heart but I want you to be here and be with me on my special day. I have been good by the way. Hug, hug.
I do not have a grandfather anymore. I wanted to let you know. It’s been 12 years and I still miss him so much, it feels like it’s been only a few months since he passed away.
I sometimes wonder what happened to the old man, it’s like I feel that he’s still alive.
To my grandfather, I miss you very much. I wish you were here to hug me and play with me.
The pain of being left behind is almost unbearable sometimes.
I know that it’s not fair for me to say this, but the pain of your absence makes me think that the world would be a better place without me.
I may not be there, but I hear you. Over the loud beats of your heart, I hear you. In the whispers of your breath, I hear you. Although my body is far, my spirit is with you always.
I’m so much like you in a lot of ways. You are always on my mind even though I don’t get to see you every day.
I wish I could catch you off guard and just lay by your side for hours, listening to old stories again and again.
When we visit it’s for such a short time and I cherish every moment with you.
I love you with all my heart, thank you for being here through the years, even when we couldn’t come up often.
I imagine you sitting in the warm sun on a rock overlooking the sea, reading a book, and enjoying your pipe.
I imagine the sound of your laughter in my ears, the smell of your pipe tobacco, and your hands holding mine tight.
I imagine how much you will enjoy your grandkids when they get older and how you’ll teach them all sorts of things.
I don’t know if you will ever see this or not, but hope you do. I wanted to write this so that eventually when I am gone, my grandkids can read about the things you taught me.
There are many things you teach me every day and I will never forget them.
I know the heartache you are going through because I suffered a similar loss when my sweet wife died.
If you take care of your heart health, then you won’t have to go through what I did. Love you and think about you often.
You’re leaving us soon so I thought some words of advice might help. Our time here is short.
Don’t wait as long to say I love you as I did. It’s important to express your feelings to those you care about before it’s too late. I love you!
I’ve always wanted to be someone cool, somebody you could go fishing with or have a few cocktails with.
Someone you could come home to and vent to or share a secret or two with.
I haven’t been able to do that so far, but if there is one thing I have learned from you it’s that life is short and I am going to make it count.
I have always wanted you to know how much I love and care about you.
You have meant the world to me ever since I was born. I have also always wanted you to know that you were, and still are, my hero. I love you so much, grandfather! You will never be forgotten.
Grandpa! I miss you so much! I can’t stop crying every night. I just want you here with me…
The fields are being harvested, the flowers are blooming, and the birds are singing but it still isn’t the same without you.
Words may come and words may go, but the love and connection you have with a person will never be broken.
From your oldest son to your grandchildren, you have given so much love and support to us all.
I miss you dearly and wish I could give back just one ounce of all the love you’ve given me in my life.
You were my reason for waking up every morning, my one steady rock in this chaotic world. Your absence is a void that can never be filled.
There are so many things I hope you know. You were the best father a boy could ever ask for.
You always loved us and never showed a bit of hate. I never felt unloved because of you, but because of that, I miss you even more.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you, even though it has been five years since you passed away. I love and miss you VERY much.
I am your grandchild and today is my birthday. The problem is I miss you so much.
When I was younger, every morning on Saturday I would wake up at 6 and would give you a call.
You would always tell me, “Granddad is sleeping.” No matter what I said you always had something to say. When I turned sixteen I didn’t call you because I was busy with a party.
Dear Lord, I know Grandpa is up in heaven watching us. He would want us to be strong.
We know he was a good man and we will remember him for who he was. We want to send him our love and say thanks.
The first time I remember seeing you, I was only four years old. You walked up to my mother and gave her a hug and a kiss.
The way you held her made me believe that she was the most important woman in the world.
That night after dinner we all sat around talking about everything from school to what we wanted to become when we grew up.
Honey, I know it’s hard right now but I also know you’ll be just fine.
You’ve dealt with lots of things in your life and you’ve passed every test. And just like those times before I’m sure you will get through this too.
