OMG!! does this bring tears to your eyes??

Question

I had to write a sad, true monologue for my acting class. So, tell me what you think:

Dear Grandpa,

It has been a few years since the last time i saw you. I will admit, when you first passed of lung cancer, i didn't think much of it, but now that i am older and things are beginning to change, i realize that now is when i need you most.

I don't remember much about you. I know the facts by heart- in the Navy, had 6 daughters, and traveled the world. From what i've heard, you were the nicest person in the world and i believe that. While my other grandparents complained about not kissing them and not saying i love you, you simply said "she will come when she is ready."

My last memory of you alive was in your room. You were on you hospital bed, unable to speak, and already in stage four of cancer. We all knew this would be the last time we saw you. I would give anything to take back that last day. I wish i told you how much i would miss you and how hard it is to say goodbye.

Now my family seems to be falling apart. And i know i only knew you for a short while, but when i look at my family i think of you and good of a grandfather you would have been to me. You taught me to be a stronger person and to fight through all the pain. No matter how much you were going through, you always had a smile for me. You were the best family i could have asked for. I know your looking down from wherever you are and watching over me. And although this is late, i just want you to know that i miss you.

Love,

Brianna

Answer 4

Answer 5

Is there a particular reason why this is the fourth time you have asked the same question?

It is sad to loose someone you love in your lifetime. But if you dwell on it and let the bad and hurt from it lead you instead of the good the person brought to your life then you become stagnant and your life revolves in a circle rather than moving forward.
