This roller coaster isn't an enjoyable ride.
The pain and worry is something I cannot hide.
It's unbelievable how much I miss your voice.
I'd make you speak again if I had a choice.
No one deserves to feel the pain you do.
But it especially breaks my heart that it's you.
I will continue to pray for you as much as I can.
I really don't know what is in God's plan.
You are the best Grandpa, my Buddy, my friend.
Wake up for us and show us this isn't the end.
You're in my head and my heart all the time.
Losing you would truly be a crime.
Dedicated to Buddy (I love you more than you will ever know)
