I wasn’t sure if I could watch this, but I knew I had to. Sweetheart, Boppa loved you so very, very much! You were so very important to him. As you said, you were the son he never had, but so deeply wanted. So when you were born, you were everything to him. I love the close relationship that you had, despite his battle with sickness that began when you turned 1 year old. But you had a few really good years together, and you were the joy of the rest of his life. Thank you for this video. Thank you for honoring him. He was an incredible man, father and grandfather!!! We all miss him so very much!!! I love you, my son, with all my heart, and I am so very proud of you!! You bring us all love and joy everyday, and I know Boppa is watching you and is so proud of his grandson. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jamie Howard my sincerest condolences. I just lost my dad (Gabe’s grandfather, Baba to him) only 35 weeks ago. It’s been hard and it’s a date I’ll never forget. He passed in my home as I was caring for both my aging parents. I know the pain. It’s surreal. The grieving journey is unique to everyone. I hope you’re finding peace and comfort in yours. I met your dad three years ago at VidCon Disney day. Chris gave him an awesome tribute. What a great grandson and your mom is an incredible caregiver! Feel free to reach out to me if you need to talk. I’ve been there. I’m still there. ❤️
Burnham family, Thank you so very much for your kind words. I pray peace and blessings for you and your family as well. The hardest part is that I lost 10 years of time with my dad and mom because I moved to the other side of the states. And now, as I am stuck here for the next 4 years, I will lose that time with my mom and Chris. Again, thank you for your kindness. ❤️
Your mom told me a few years ago he was in rough shape and even last July you told me your grandfather was very ill and you wanted to get back to Los Angeles as soon as you could. He was amoung many people who were positive role models in your life. Even though I never met Jack, he seemed like the gentleman you would love to sit down and hear his life stories. My prayers continuously are with you and family.
Learning how to 'Rebel Responsibly' and 'accepting the bad things that happen to you without accepting the bad things' Truer words have never been spoken 💜💜💜💜💜 I wish you and your family peace and patience during this hard time 🙏
I know this is late.. but I remember hearing the news. He was actually quite nice to me every time I talked to him at family reunions or at great gramma's house. Him and Suzie were always nice to me, and it was always fun talking with him. I wish there was a way we could have helped him, though I don't really know what we could have done. I wish I could have seen him before all this. Our thoughts and prayers are with you chris.
Thanks for sharing this with us, Chris. I think it was a great way to honor him and make sure those stories live on. Having lost my grandpa a couple years back after his mind and body had also deteriorated rather quickly (although not in the same way), I definitely know what it feels like. I'm sorry for your loss.
What a beautiful story. I am sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. I'm honestly in tears and I wish I could give you a hug right now...we love you, Chris
Condolences Chris. I lost my grandmother last year, so I've gone through that before in a way. Praying for you and the family. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible sounding person with us even though it must have been difficult for you to tell
