Last October 18, my grandfather passed away. He was 80.
He has lived a full life. He watched his kids graduate. He watched them get married and build a family. He slept in their homes. He even had great grandkids.
I am his granddaughter. I always will be.
This news piece is dedicated to all the artists whose artworks have helped me cope with such a loss. He was the best thing in all our lives. To lose someone that great, support becomes the most valuable commodity.
I have come to realize that distance never posed to be a problem in terms of relating to scraps of paint and pictures. I have come to understand my grief more, taken it in longer… thanks to your art.
I think the fact that I feel this pain shows that I am slowly accepting this loss. This would have been unbearable without the beauty of your crafts.
Again, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
My grandfather.

Thank you.
I am sorry for your loss. I hope things have gotten better in the past few months.
i lost my grandpapa when i was 12, and at that time it didnt seem like such a huge thing--but since ive come to understand the world, the pain of losing him grows a little more everyday.
im glad my artpiece has helped you through your grief--ive lost a lot of close friends in my time, and i know how much a little support can mean, even if its just a picture. it shows that someone else out there also understands.
the Inuit say that the stars are holes in heaven, and every time we look up and see those we love up there shining, we know theyre happy.
Thank you for the feature.
thank you very much for the feature
