When my grandfather passed away a few years ago, my mom and I wrote a tribute for his memorial. She asked me to read it to everyone there, so I did. I was also nervous but really happy that I did it. By the last few sentences, I broke down. It was the part about when my grandmother and grandfather first met. I remember seeing my cousins crying at that moment. I can relate to how that was for you. You did a wonderful thing. My condolences.

Haha I know, it took me forever to figure out how to phrase the religious stuff without offending anyone :P

Thank you my love! x

What a lovely speech! I was sniffling myself by the end of it, I'm sure everyone at the memorial was touched, and I know that somewhere your grandfather too was so so proud of you!
