missing grandpa

This afternoon one of my friends from work got married today..it was a beautiful ceremony. During the lighting of the unity candle I was hit with memories of Josh and my wedding when the couple went to hug their grandparents, I instantly teared up. I'm not really an emotional person, but I also have never really truly lost someone close like grandpa. I still remember how he smelled, how his voice sounded and most of all his smile. One of my most favorite days with him was celebrating our anniversary together at red lobster, it was our 1st and their 52nd. Grandpa and grandma both ordered pina coladas. .virgin of course and we had never ending shrimp! Grandpa drove us up to red lobster and josh drove us home because we all were afraid for our lives on the way up grandpa would go 30 to 90 in a 2mile stretch. None the less it was a day to remember. I mowed grandmas lawn the other day and the whole time I mowed I thought of him, I remember being 8/9 years old and riding bikes in their driveway while he mowed and grandma was at work. He comes into my mind often and today was just a little stronger than others, I do miss him soo much and it saddens me to see it in my grandma too. She tries to hide it but I see it in her eyes everytime I see her. I only hope Josh and I can grow old together like they did! He was a good man....heres to you grandpa love ya to the moon and back!
