*not over grieving

I love and miss you with all my heart grandpa, you were and still are my best friend. I know your in a better place but I wish we could turn back time and fix what happened. I'm almost 15 now, it's been 5 years since your passing but it still feels like yesterday. When I saw you in the hospital bed about to die I couldn't speak I couldn't function... all I could do was cry. But I made it and even though I'm over grieving I won't let it affect me anymore.
