Dedicated to my GrandFather

Even though the light in your eyes hasn't dimmed, I feel you fading away. It kills me. Knowing there is nothing to do to stop the process. I miss you already..

I can't lose you, I won't lose you. Don't give up on me. I won't if you don't. 

I regret all those times I didn't come to lunch to see you, all those timesI didn't just stop by and say "Hello" and to see how you were doing. I'm sorry. I let you down. 

Please don't leave me, not yet. I still have to learn about my family. About you. Ugh. I wish I could trade places with you, take all your pain away, put that smile back on your face, and that fresh air in your lungs.
