On the afternoon of July 1st, 2012, my Grandfather Gerry, 73 years old, passed away after a 4 month battle with CC in Hospice Care.
I loved him & will always love him like a father. I miss him so much already & will always cherish the amazing times we had together, & how lucky I was to have lived with him for 10 years of my 23 years here on Earth.
I was so honoured to have known him & was so lucky to have had someone like him in my life. He worried about everyone else, & he was a genuinely good person. Never once did he speak ill of someone. I will now live my life as he did his: be nice/compassionate to everyone, forgive everyone, & be positive all the time. He brought his family from Ireland to Canada for a better life. Every Canada Day will be extra special to me now. There won’t be a day that goes by that I won’t think of my hero ♥
