Kids could have met you. I love you.
It has been 4 years. I miss you and love you very much.
My Grandfather.
Vytas Stakys. When I was a little kid growing up, I guess you could say you were my super hero. I used to have such bad anxiety about being forgotten or left behind that everyday I would have to call you, to make sure you were picking me up from school. Like clockwork you always reassured me. Like clockwork you always picked me up from school to go to the supermarket, to go to your house where you would help me with my assignments and make me into the smart woman that I am. Vytas Stakys.
The paintings you did always inspired me. I was always impressed by the work that you created. Amazed that a member of my family created a piece of art like you did. You taught me how to draw, how to paint. It always stuck with me, to this do and I'm sure it will forever. My Grandfather. He drove like a maniac to scare my sister and I. But I felt safe regardless of him showing off and scaring us. When we would go out to eat, he picked great places. Even the weird food experiments he cooked, I always enjoyed no matter how strange. Oh, I can't forget how you loved a Whopper from Burger King. My Grandfather. Showed me music. Every year, he recalled stories of my sister and I being young, dancing to music. He often would break out records and play them. The music I recall from these stories I'll never listen to them the same way again. My Grandfather. Vytas Stakys. You had a big part in my life. Though right now I can only recall a few brief occurrences and memories, these events happened over years, decades. But, I do miss you honestly. I do love you. I pray that your faith guided you in the end. I am guilt ridden because of how these last few years went, and that'll eat at me for years to come. But, I will hold onto the memories that we created together as a family. That will guide me through. I know you loved me. You know that I loved you. And in the end that is what I'll hold on to. I pray you're at peace. As a family, we will be okay. I promise.
