In Memory of Pop…

Exactly half my life ago, on Valentine’s Day, my grandfather died.

I still have the card he and my grandmother sent me that year. It’s red with a dancing Snoopy on the cover. Inside, the words "Love, Moo and Pop" appear in black ink.

Thirteen years later, I still wish I could have said, "Goodbye".

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, Pop.

You are missed today, tomorrow and for always.

I love you.
