A new chapter in my book of life.

I found out that one of the most important Father figures in my life has passed away last night. It wasn't my actual Father because I don't even really know my actual Father because he left my family when I was 2 and I have only spoken to him about 4 times ever.
It was my Grandfather who we called "Pa". He was my Mom's Father and was always there for us ever since we were born. He use to see us every Wednesday and Sunday until we were in High school. He taught my how to fish, tried to teach us how to play catch and other sports, He would always be there for us during events like when I played soccer or when I played my guitar and sang at open mics or cafe's. We would always have family gatherings with him, my aunt, my grandmother(his ex wife) and my great grandmother. They all happened to pass away within 3 years. We would go to Vermont every April vacation and South Carolina every summer. He would bring us sledding, bike riding, help us clean are yard, He Taught me how to drive! He was amazing and always will be. Even though I may never see him again physically, I will always see him in my thoughts and dreams. He taught me how to be a good person and he loved me with all of his heart which makes me want to pass on the love and love everyone with all of my heart. He has given me support in everything I have always been interested in. I would tell him everything that was going on in my life, I would tell him my thoughts, my dreams, my goals, I even told him stories about my sex life hoping to gain wisdom and knowledge for my future. He would step on my toes sometimes but I would never pull it out from under, I would just wait until he walked away. I don't know why but I always have.
I could go on forever about Pa but I won't. I am glad he lived the life he did and I am thankful for that. For now a part of him will be with me forever and I will help spread the love until it is my time to depart.
