bri32z I know how feel. Several years ago I lost my grandfather. He and I were VERY close. He is the one who made me into the car guy I am today(much to the dislike of my g/f). He is THE reason I own a Mustang instead of a Camaro. I still remember is laugh and the smell of his pipe smoke. I remember him showing me how to power-shifting his Fairlane and the fishing trips we took every Saturday.

People will tell you that is will be OK. Well I'm sorry to tell you it will never be OK. It's does get better, but their will always be a void in my heart and life. You eventully learn to live with it.

But I can tell you this. I will ALWAYS remember the great times I had with my Grandpa and I will always cherish the memories that I have of him. I know that he is in a better place and that he is no longer suffering. BUT I know that one day I will get to see him again and that, that project 63 Falcon will be there and that this time we'll finish it. And I will hear his laugh and smell his pipe smoke again.

I don't know if this helps you any but, I thought I would share my story with you.

Any of you who have grandparents that are still alive. Call them, wish them a Merry Chirstmas and just tell them that you love them.
