Louis is my Grandfather on my mother's side. He was a wonderful man who will be deeply missed. I wrote this piece in memory of him. Please keep his memory alive.
My poppop is many things. He is a son, a father, a grandfather, a great-grandfather, a friend, a safe place, a role model, a constant ray of sunshine during the brightest, and the darkest of days. He is always there to remind us of the beauty that surrounds us, every day, in even the smallest of moments.
But the most important thing to remember, is not that he *WAS* these things; it's that he *IS* these things. He is still here with each and every one of us, still an eternal ray of sunshine, warming every heart he's ever touched.
And I, like many of us, will always remember him, his warm voice, and his sweet, sweet laugh. But most of all, I'll always remember the way he made me feel, every time we spoke- when he reminded me, as he always did, that today is a beautiful day. Everyday is a beautiful day... and with him in our hearts, tomorrow will be just as beautiful, too.
