It is still very hard day by day to remember that the man i loved with my whole heart past away, My papa my grandpa my dad my friend my go to when anything in a vehicle broke on me, advice at its best, I can remember camping with my papa and him teaching me to fish and hunt and slow dance... going out to eat with my nana and papa and always eating his onions in his drink, ordering the same thing as my papa, sleeping in the same bed as my nana and papa, right in the middle... He is and always will be the heart and soul of are family. I suffer day to day missing him and wanting to hear him once again, singing to me on my birthdays chantilly lace, This is the best thing i have in my life is the things that my grandpa taught me and showed me, morals, manners, respect and knowledge.. my heart is still broken and hurts.. Its hard for me to say nana and papa are coming over when its my mother and my nana... i know i am rambling on but its hard to describe the way i feel about this man... Anyways Papa i didn't ever think you was not gonna be around, i thought you was a super hero and was just always there when i needed you to be, now i wish that i had spent more time with you as i got older and didn't take advantage of you just being around, i am sorry if i did anything you just didn't like or approve and i hope u new just how much you meant to me.. How much you influenced my life and made me be as strong as i am today.. i wish i had one more dance with you but i guess i will do that when i see you again, remember papa i got first dance when we meet again.. i love you to the moon and back.. love always your first born granddaughter Chantil Lynn Svir..
