Thank you so much for this very positive post!
I was feeling a little down now but reading this gave me some solace.

I send my condolences to you for the loss of your grandfather but hey, at least you hugged him every time you saw him as if it were your last before it didbecome his last. Being happy is cherishing everything that MATTERS around you. All the time. Happiness really is free.

Like you said

Only the days and moments we can remember make up our LIVES. Only those days are truly lived from the heart. Everything else is just pretending to live.

This is truly the right attitude to life.

Thanks again buddy!
