Rest in Peace Grandpa. I’m so sorry I can’t be there tomorrow for you, but you know how busy I am at school. I know you were super proud of how well I’m doing at school. I will continue to work hard and I will get a 4.0 for you this semester. I hope you continue to cheer for our Orangeman. Love you.
