My grandfather passed away.

When I saw him in Yerevan a little over a month ago, he told me that it was probably the last time that he was seeing me in his life... It gave me a painful pang in the stomach, as I wiped my tears, trying to shake off the thought of him not being there one day.

I do not know how one reconciles with something like that...

Dearest Nika,

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandpa! My grandpa passed away a few years ago (3 1/2, to be exact), and I miss him dearly all the time. But I also feel his presence very strongly and very frequently. I hope you continue to feel your grandpa in your life on a regular basis!

I thought I'd share these couple of posts I've written about my grandpa:

I am so sorry to hear this, Nika. It must be even harder now that you are so far away. I'm thinking of you.

I am very sorry for your loss, Nika. I know though that no words can truly comfort in a time like this one.
