Dearest Ali,
I know how much you miss your grandfather. He was a very fortunate man to have a granddaughter like you and to receive all the love you have for him, and I am sure he loved you with great depth.

I lost my beloved sister two Novembers ago...if you go back to a recent thread titled 'full moon' you will see a post I wrote about my sister, and how we can still reach out to eachother , even though she has passed on..

Ali, you may want to light a candle on your grandfathers birthday and tell him how much you miss him and love him..the quiet glow of the candle will comfort you and the words you say will help you feel complete....

I so look forward to hearing about your placement working with the elderly, and the on-line classes you'll be taking..you're on your way, Ali !!!!

Many hugs
Hope4thebest
