Wow. This is- just, oh I'm stuck for words! This brought me to tears, literally. It's so deep, in a simple way. Your writing skills are good- I like the way you kept it clear and to the point, but yet it hold so much emotion, like every word holds a world of meaning. It's incredible. And you are so,so brave to be able to write this. You are a very strong person. Thank you so much for joining my contest and entering this! You did really well, and thank you so much for giving me the pleasure as to reading this wonderful piece of work(:
i honestly don't think you should feel guilty for not going to see him the last time, to be honest in a way it might have been better you didn't it's awful seeing someone in their last moments of life. it's awful seeing someone you love and respect so weak and helpless. i don't think you could have changed anything no matter how hard you tried. the important thing is that you two had a wonderful relationship through your childhood and that is something bad luck can never erase
your writing is beautiful and im sure your grandfather would be proud :)
This literally made me cry. I can really relate to it because of my dad. He was in the hospital a lot after he had surgery, and I don't think I ever got to see him enough. I really love this.
