Good-bye Grandpa

Edward Salmoiraghi
April 28, 1925 - April 9, 2007

This morning, my grandfather died. Edward H. Salmoiraghi. 81 years young. His body was slowly failing him, day by day.

Even though his death was expected, it is still shocking, and painful.

What do i say? I don't know.

Amanda and I were hoping to see him once more this coming weekend during my father's 50th b-day party. We wish we could have sooner now. We rejoice in that Amanda was able to meet him over the Christmas Holiday, and my grandfather fell in love with her (and the puppy) on the spot. He will be missed... Till we see you in heaven...

Please be praying for Amanda and I, my family and especially my grandmother. her world has crashed down around her. She is thankful her children surround her, but to lose a husband, lover and best friend is more than a person can take sometimes.

Thank you Lord for the many days I spent with my grandfather, learning from him, watching him work hard and hear the stories of his life, may I NEVER forget them or lose them in my lifetime or my children's.
