    I wish I could say pain goes away, but it does not. I still think of my stepgrandfather with such fond memories and it has been 27.5 years. Hopefully this is the human side of us all – we grieve what we can’t have, don’t have and won’t have. When my grandmother died last year, it was definitely time. I think what I hurt for is opportunities lost to hear her story and to have my kids know her. Life is hard. It is not supposed to be! Unfortunately, I am reminded often, that live is hard this side of heaven.
