This is such a beautiful idea, Aiden. It must have been so comforting for you at the time. It's no wonder your parents became emotional when you showed them this lovely tribute. I had tears in my eyes reading about it.

It's so painful losing loved ones. We can't always be there with them at the end or attend their funeral. Your grandfather loved you, Aiden and he would not have wanted you to miss those important exams. You did the right thing, though it was a tough decision. You've got the rest of your life to honour your grandfather in whichever ways you choose. Thanks for sharing this beautifully honest account of such a painful time in your life.
