There are some people you never stop wanting to call.

In this episode of The Letterbox Podcast, Aileen writes to her grandfather, four years after his death. She shares the conversations she still longs to have, the milestones she wishes she could tell him about, and the promise she has made to carry his kindness into the world.

This episode explores grief after losing a grandparent, the enduring bond between grandparents and grandchildren, bereavement, family, love, loss, remembrance, and learning to live with someone’s absence while keeping their legacy alive.
