A letter from Samantha to my grandpa PiggyDuck

Death is one of the hardest things to cope with. Just realizing that they aren't there anymore and just knowing there is nothing you can do about it. It's sad though you never realize how amazing a person truly is until they are gone. Once that person is gone you begin to apologize for the fights and the upsetting moments. But it is that one moment you begin to realize how precious the little things were. How much they meant. When they were around those little things seemed not to matter but now they do and those meaningful little things are now called memories. The scars that seem to remind you of how amazing that person was, what you wish you could have said, your regrets, and the love you felt for them. But now that person is gone and all you can do is remember. Try to just remember. Don't just remember the fights and the regrets you had but try to remember them when they were at their strongest, the best side of them. Randy, he could be a jerk an he could be a drunk but we are no better than that man right there. I only got to visit him once at the hospital about a week or so before he passed. I looked down at his mindless body and I told him that he took over the role of being my grandfather an that I couldn't lose him to. That night I talked to god and I told him if Randy had to carry on to please take him quickly and not let him suffer anymore but to do anything in his power to heal him. I regret a lot towards that wonderful man. I'm sorry I blamed you piggy duck, I blamed you this whole time but I didn't know the truth. I listened to the stories and I played off of the lies because I believed it an I didn't know the truth. I would have never thought my grandpa stache would have let his self go like that. I always thought if grandma never met Randy that grandpa would still be here today. I always thought if it wasn't for him I would have got to known my real grandfather. I was wrong from what I know my grandpa was sick and he let go. Maybe he didn't want to live like that? I never thought of it that way, I was being selfish I wanted to know my grandpa and all I knew were stories. So I blamed Randy and I thought if only it wasn't for him. I'm sorry Randy but it was because of you … because of you I got to have a real loving grandfather. I'm sorry I blamed you. I hope you heard me Randy I need you to know I am sorry and I love you. I love you so much. Randy was a strong man I regret seeing him at his weakest point but it was time to say goodbye. I love you Piggy Duck I'm sorry I just needed you to know please just know that I love you grandpa.. yes grandpa .. I love you. I wish you were still here but you will always be here (hand to heart). You're in a better place now. Try to remember the strong person he was. He was strong for us now it is time to be strong for him.. maybe he didn't want to continue his life like this. Look at the little things that now do matter, take those memories an remember that amazing person Randell Osborne. And find that love, the love you have for him and hold onto it because he is still here (hand to heart) and now he is in our memories. Don't forget that strong person, the strong person he was. We love you piggy duck…<3
