Angie Sewalson, Development Associate for Empowered Network, shares a voice message from her grandfather, an airplane mechanic, pilot, and one of her closest friends. During his short battle with cancer, they stayed connected through voice messages since he did not like texting. She drove alone to the Black Hills for one final weekend with him, surrounded by memories of summers spent together, races he cheered her through, and rides across the potato fields he loved. In one photo, her stepmom wrote, “Grandpa is sending you a hug.” For Angie, that’s what his voice still is, a steady presence, a reminder of love that endures long after goodbye.
