Heart Touching Letter About Absence of a Grandson
I wanted my letter to be a note for the ages, a ticket in time that you will hold onto forever.
I wanted to share those moments. And some of them may seem ordinary in our daily lives, but you are my most special gift.
I wish I could be with you today. To take you to Grandpa’s stand, to hold your hand and tell you how much I love you.
My heart goes out to the thousands of young men and women who will never hear this message…
Baby, I have some bad news to tell you. I’m not dead yet, but I’m like a dead man walking.
My time is getting very short so I have to be quick with my letter. I want you to know that if it wasn’t for you I would have been a goner long ago.
You are the most amazing grandson in the world and that’s the truth.
I love you, my grandson and I miss you so much. You are so special to me and you have been stolen from my life at an age I thought was too young.
You were taken away before you even got the chance to live and grow up, fall in love, laugh with friends, go to college, get married, and have children of your own.
It’s not fair that this all happened in the blink of an eye, without any warning.
I’m writing this to tell you how much I miss you and how much I love you.
Today I spoke at your school on Grandparent’s Day and told them what an awesome grandson they have and what a great big brother he is to his sister. Your mom
Dear Grandson, Every time I close my eyes, I picture you. At first, it was just your face peering from behind your mother’s shoulders.
Lately, I’ve been dreaming of you as a man in uniform standing before me, tall and ready to take on the world.
I’m so proud of the man you are becoming and so thankful for the life we’ve had so far together.
Having you in my life is what makes every day worth living. I love you with all my heart
I just wanted to let you know how much I love and miss you. Every morning I put on your pajamas and pretend that you are still here with me.
I miss the way you would wake up in the morning and go make a big bowl of cereal while singing a silly little song.
I still have your drawing of our family and it is hanging in my room, right over my bed. You left so much love here, but one day we will be together again.
I miss you every second of every day. I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, and I just want to hold you again.
You are the most amazing boy in the whole world. When I was young, everyone said how much I looked like me. Now that I am 57 years old, people say how much you look like me.
It breaks my heart that you aren’t here with me or your sister to enjoy life together. Remember little cub: Grandma loves you forever and always.
Come home soon, Grandad misses you so much. I know your life is tough right now and it’s only natural to be afraid of what you’re experiencing but don’t be okay.
The things you went through are not only wrong but they are illegal and people get into trouble for breaking the law.
No matter what happens, this is still your home and the door will always be open for you no matter how stupid you think you have been or if I think you have done something really bad.
My sweet Eli! I’m in tears while writing. while you were serving overseas, I took this picture of you and me together on your second birthday.
That was the last time I saw your sweet little face because of their stupid war.
No one can ever replace my boy. My heart is broken from losing you 4 years ago. Your daddy David is so lonely without his best friend in the whole world by his side.
You’re always in my heart and mind. I miss you so much. You mean everything to me and I only wish that you were here. I love you with all my heart.
I love you so much. I think about you every day and miss your hugs and kisses.
I wish that you could come home soon, but I also understand to make a difference will take a lot of sacrifice on everyone’s part. I miss you dearly, grandson.
I hope you’re not mad that I’m writing this because I don’t think it’s fair. You are my grandson and I want to be with you forever.
I know that your father loves you so much, I just wish he wouldn’t keep us apart. My love for you will never die, no matter how far away you are.
My dear grandson, I love you so much. One day I will hold you in my arms and tell you all the things you mean to me.
I wish there were no distance between us and I could talk to you every day on Skype, but just having you in my life means the world to me.
My heart is breaking as I write this. I miss you terribly, and can’t wait until we are always together again.
You are my life and always will be. I love you. Stay in school and don’t drop out like me. Love, Nana
It has been a long time since you and I have been together. Many years.
You were a punk back then, smoking cigarettes and trying to pick up girls while I tagged along and watched.
I always thought of you as my boy, my grandson, even if I didn’t know it at the time. But now that you are gone, so young and full of life, there is no other way to describe you…my grandson.
I miss the way you laugh. I miss the way you squeeze just a little too tight when you hug me.
I miss waking up to your sweet smile, every day. But most of all I miss hearing you call me Nana…
Goddammit, don’t you ever answer your phone? I have left you over a dozen messages.
I just wanted to tell you that I love you and miss you very much. You’ve been gone for over 4 years now.
Your father moved back home and said it was too hard without you. Well, guess what? It’s hard without you here as well.
If I could take back the last 15 years, I would do it without hesitation. You were taken from us way too soon. We all miss you very much.
If I could only have one more day, I’d tell you all the things that were on my mind.
Please watch over your brother, he misses you and wants to see you so badly. Until then, we will keep our love for you burning brightly and a void in our hearts will remain.
We haven’t seen each other for a long time, sweetheart! We all miss you very much.
It’s been 9 months since we’ve last seen you or spoken to you on the phone. Grandpa is very sad and misses you…
Since you are not here, I am writing to tell you that I love you. Our separation makes my heart ache and I miss you terribly.
My chest feels tight when I think of your absence, but I will always remember your smile and the way your eyes lit up when we were together, even on bad days.
I just want you to know that I love you and hope that it brings some comfort to your heart, as well as mine.
Grandpa always loves you, and I’m so proud to be your Grandpa! I’m sorry for the long time I haven’t seen you, but we’ll see each other soon.
I have scars that cannot be seen. All those who know me say I am a happy-go-lucky person, but at times it is very difficult for me to smile.
They don’t know that your grandfather has lost his best friend and the love of his life. That he suffers in silence because he doesn’t want anyone to worry about him.
To my first and only grandson. Malachi, I miss you so much! You were such an amazing little guy.
You were so full of life and so full of joy. You were the center of everyone’s attention when you entered a room. I still can’t believe that you are gone.
I close my eyes and see your smile, your eyes, and your cute little nose. I will never dream again. It’s a constant nightmare that keeps me from sleeping at night.
Today is your 9th birthday and I know that you would have loved to see everyone.
You were such a clown who loved life and had so much joy inside of you. Though your soul has left our world, we will forever feel your presence.
Please hold our hands as we travel down the road of life, and always watch over us. Forever in our hearts.
Dear Grandson, Every day at sunset I go to the beach. It’s the place where we used to collect shells and listen to whales.
I think of you every time I’m there. After a few days, I started talking to you, asking you to stand up and throw your arms in the air so I know you hear me.
It began as a wish, thinking that maybe you could do that from wherever you are…but now going there has become more of a ritual.
The sun had barely risen when the phone rang with news that every grandfather dreads yet secretly fears. My precious 5-year-old grandson went to sleep and never woke up.
I do not have to tell you the pain in my heart. I want to tell you what an amazing young man he was but I can’t. He only got to be a little boy but he sure packed a lot into those short 18 years.
I’m sorry you’re not here to celebrate with us but I miss you so much. You are my life, my dreams, and all my hopes. Nothing is going right without you here.
I can’t sleep, can’t eat. Please come home soon! Without you in our house, it’s just not the same!
I know that God has a plan for us and somehow everything will work out fine in the end but I don’t know how much more of this I can take
I miss you, I thought that getting a new grandchild would fill the hole in my heart.
My grandson is a good kid, but he is not like you.”
I hope you get this letter when you are a little boy. I miss and love you so dearly.
I want to take you to the zoo, pick flowers, and play with you every day. I want to be a good grandfather and make your life amazing. I’ll do anything to show how much I love you!
Grandpa misses you, this is not a joke or a lie. Sweetheart, I am so sorry. I broke my promise and I’m so ashamed.
It’s been hard without you this year. I want to go back to the way things were.
Life has left my body and it’s just an empty shell. All I want, all I need is you here with me.
dear son, I love you and miss you immensely, all your friends tell me that you are so handsome, popular, and smart. Although I can’t be there to see your achievements I am very proud of you.
I would have loved for the occasion to come but I’ll be there filling in your heart with the love I have for you and will always have for you. I love you so much son, I miss you more!!!!
Whenever I see other kids your age I can’t help but wonder what you are doing, but most of all I just miss my sweet little boy.
I’m not in a very good mood. I don’t feel like writing. I don’t feel like doing anything. I just want to lay here and cry for an hour or two.
I miss my grandson so much. I can’t believe he’s gone. He was such a wonderful little boy, handsome, smart, and full of energy.
I’ve held your hand and heard you laugh, I saw the twinkle in your eyes.
I’ve held you close and felt your heart so near, I know your face and every feature. But…….I have never heard your voice or seen your face.
Grandson, It’s been six years since I lost you and every day that goes by feels like I’m lost at sea.
The worst part of my day is not hearing your laugh, seeing your smile, or even a text from you.
I miss you so much it hurts. Walking into the house after a hard day’s work and knowing you’re not there to hug me and tell me how much you love me breaks my heart.
I wish with all my might that there was something I could do to bring you back to me. It’s difficult not having the person who means most in this world.
I can’t believe it! I’m going to have a grandchild, but you are not here to share in this emotion.
As I write this letter I am overcome with love for you for the miracle that is about to happen.
I just want you to know how deep my feelings go. You are my most cherished treasure and I can’t wait to meet you again.
Time goes by so slowly, you have been gone for a year now. I think of you often and long to see your face.
Each memory that I share brings me joy, yet it breaks my heart to know you aren’t near.
Grandson, I wonder where you are. Whether you’re lost or hurt or frightened for life. So far away from home.
Please return my dear, it breaks my heart to see your empty place at the dinner table.
Calling out your name each day as I desperately wait for your reply. I miss you and love you so much that it aches deep within my soul.
Son, the most precious part of me is gone. I have given all my love to you. Life without you is so meaningless and empty.
I have spent innumerable sleepless nights in eager anticipation of your arrival. The void in my heart can never be filled.
You are my angel, the only ray of light after a sleepless night at work.
My favorite memories with you are when we were little and we would sit down for dinner and talk about our days.
I can’t believe my son has left me. I am so alone now that you are gone.
We used to spend time together and have such a great time talking and laughing. You will always be my little angel, and I love you.
I wish you could be here. I wish I never had to say goodbye. I wish that you might come home and have a grand old time with me again. But alas, we cannot change the past.
All we can do is hope for a brighter tomorrow where time and space will not separate us from what we hold most dear in our heart
I miss you more than I can say. I feel your absence like an open wound that hasn’t healed.
It has been so long since I held you in my arms. There is an emptiness where you used to be that nothing can fill.
It has been eight years since you left this earth, eight long painful years.
I often wonder why you left me so young and without a goodbye. Just when each day became extra special because it was one closer to seeing you again.
It had only been three days since I last saw you before that horrible day. I missed you so much while I was at work.
Dear Grandson, I don’t think it’s possible to love you more than I already do. I miss you like crazy, and I wish you were here with me.
It’s not the same around here without you, and I’m forced to remember every day that you aren’t in my life.
There is a huge hole in my heart where you should be, but maybe that’s just to remind me of your love.
Grandson, I miss you very much. I hate that you are no longer with us because you were the light of my life – now it is dark.
I remember you as a handsome, sweet boy who loved us so much that you would wrap your arms around our necks and hold on for dear life.
You must be missing us too. But until we meet again, know that I love and miss you very much.
I can’t tell you how much I miss you. You are such a huge part of my life and always will be! I thank God that our paths crossed because, without you here with me, my life is empty.
I love you Grandson, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you and no one else in this world that could ever replace your place in my heart.
Our world has been so empty since you left us. I can still feel your love and touch when I look at your picture.
Your mother is doing the best she can to hold on to those memories of you.
She still cries daily, but at night when she goes to bed there is a smile on her face. She knows how much we all miss you and that’s why we always say, “I love you” so often.
Never forget how very much you were loved. You were so special.
You made our lives wonderful and full of happiness. We long for the days that we will see you again, but until then we will continue to love and look forward to our day of deliverance.
I love you and miss you. Hold your head high, and know that I am there for you whatever you need and always will be.
Trust in God, keep going, and follow your dreams. Hang on to my every word because I love you.
