Who's ugly kid are you?

I remember it as if it were yesterday, and I not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Although I know you are where you belong, I can't help but be selfish and wish you were here with us. I know that almost, if not everyone, has someone that they wish they could bring back... just for one day. I was only 12 when you passed away, I didn't have nearly as much time with you that I needed. Someone just needed you more. I like to think that the ones who needed you the most are all the little "loves" that are here with us now. I think they needed some reassurance and preparation for the world they were coming to, they needed their grandpa.
I know that if you could, you'd tell us to take care of grandma. I'll be honest, I haven't been as good as I need to be. She is such an amazing woman, and she deserves more than we've all been giving her. I know why you married her grandpa, you were one lucky duck :)
I just want you to know that I do have regrets, I wish I would have spent more time with you and that I would have told you how much I love you. I know we can't live with the "shoulda, coulda, woulda's" but you truly are the only man that I'd be proud to call my grandpa. I look at my baby boy and I know that he just left your arms and I find comfort knowing that you knew him before I did. I hope you gave him some good advice, especially to mind his mother! I miss you grandpa and I can't wait until we meet again.
Love you!
