when my grandpop passed away i wanted his belt i dont think it would have fit or anything and it wasnt cool or anything. it had a V cut out for our last name; it is the physical item that i remember the most of his legacy. when he was sick however we gave or threw away the clothes that he couldnt wear anymore. and the belt happened to be in there... i wish i had a physical way to remember him and i would have wanted it to be that.

so i think you should keep the glasses around. because the way i remember seeing your granpa, he always was smiling and had whiskers from not shaving.and then his eyes would be all blown out of proportion the way the glasses magnified them.
i know its hard but you should look at this as not loosing him because he will still be with you every day. and he will be the reason you check the back of quarters and when you lick a stamp youll wonder if he would have wanted joey to have saved it.

i think what matters the most is what someone leaves us with after they have gone.

i don't understand how not being reunited in death makes relationships not worth having. how do relationships mean nothing just because at some point they end? your grandfather must have been so happy and felt so much love in having children, in his children having their own children. would he take all of that back knowing he would someday die? of course not. losing someone you love is hard, but you know that you can't live that way. life isn't about death, it's about the things that we do. and if you would cease to find the benefit, the joy, or the importance in relationships due to sadness and fear of answers to questions none of us can answer, well then i would be so sad for you. do you need meaning to feel worthy of your own life? you don't worry about the meaning of a dog's life, or a ladybug's, or a crab's, so why do you worry so much about your own? i am so sorry for your loss, britt, but you cannot start questioning everything because of death; it's an inevitable part of life. i know that you were just getting all these ( ... )
