My dear grandfather, you know that for me it is not only a grandfather, it is also a father. You filled in me a void that could never otherwise be filled. You were and are my male references, my paternal reference. You taught me everything a father teaches a child, always loving and caring, as grandparents are.
On your birthday, I have a lot to thank you for. You were the great gift of my life. Rest assured, you would not trade your presence in my life for any father, because you were so much more than a father to me, you were my father, my grandfather, my friend, my great hero. I have a lot of love and admiration for you!
I wish you all the best, best of health and many years of life. I love you, my grandfather!
