Unhappy Feeling A Little Down

This Sunday it will be four years since my grandpa passed away. I miss him so much. He was my world. And still is. I wish I could hug him right now and hear his positive words. I will not be home with my family this year and I wish I could. That is what helps me get through this rough time in my life. I am sad and I wish I could go to the cemetery to talk to my grandpa. I know it has been 4 years but it is still hard to get through this time and the holidays are hard too. I am sad and down. I know he is proud of me and is watching out for me but I can't touch him and he can't touch me. I need someone to hold me. But I don't have anyone to hold me right not.

Love,
Shana

shana - this is a tough year for you - being in a new environment and away, even tho you can't go to the cemetary - talk to him and know that he is with you always. sorry i can't be there to give you a big hug myself, but sending one your way!

Shana,

CW is right...talk to him, ask him for advice, see him in front of you. Our loved ones don't leave us, and the relationship continues...
My father died when I was six years old. I still talk to him. He has been gone now for 44 years.
Other family members have passed too, and I talk to them...they will live in my heart.

Apparently, the messages that come from beyond
can be swift and delicate
and if we are not open and receptive
they will fly by unseen and unheard,
and will fall to earth,
we know not where.
If we can catch them in their flight,
we will find that peace descends upon us
and we will feel the breeze of an angel's wing
as it gently reaches out and touches us.

-- Linda Pendleton

Thanks guys for all your support I think God heard me too. Today was a good/sad day for me. I went up to the cemetery to my grandp's grave and talked to him but I was happy and I did not cry. Now that I am back at Ashland i am sad and i want to cry. I do not understand I am so confused right now.
Love,
Shana

I get the same way about my grandfather. He died 3 years ago this upcoming January. For some reason on my birthday I always mourn him and it is no different this year. I'm crying my eyes out.

Know I am thinking of you and him tonight.
