To my darling GrandAngel, Athena Ivy Ammons,You donÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢t know me, as we have not met,Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¦yet. For that, I am saddened and a bit lost. IÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢m your Grandpa Kramer, or Grandpa Gene, or Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?â??Hey old man!Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã? if thatÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s what you want to call me!IÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢ve known your daddy since he was 4 years old and although weÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢ve not kept in touch as much as I would have liked to, I can tell you that, heÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s grown up to be as good of a man as IÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢ve ever had the honor and privilege of knowing. I donÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢t know your mommy, but I do know that all of the good that they have inside of themselves, they passed on to you. I can also tell you, without hesitation, that if there had been any way that they could have given their lives, for you to live, they would have done so without giving it a second thought. ThatÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s what good parents do. They put their children before everything. Especially themselves!Alas, decisions like that are not ours to make, as theyÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢ve already been made. The only thing that we can do is, the best we can, with what weÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢ve gotÃ?¢ââ??¬Ã?¦or with what we havenÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢t got.I would have liked to have seen you one time, before you flew home. I would have liked to have held you one time. Looked into your eyes one time and let you see deep within my soul. I would have liked to have held you while you slept with your head on my shoulder and feel your warm breath on my ear. I would have liked to see you smile one time. Laugh one time. Cry one time. Walked beside you on your first pony ride. Comforted you when your heart was broken.All those things that GrandparentÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s and Grandchildren get to do, that there was not enough time for.But, I promise you this. When the day comes, that I am called home as you were, yours will be one of the first faces that I look for. How will I know itÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s you? How will you know itÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s me?WeÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢ll know.Trust me. WeÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢ll know.
