Hey ratties, hope you're doing good... It might be a while until the next video.

Today, Loulou, my grandfather, passed away.

I've always been myself on this channel, though I never really got personal. However, he was such an important and influential figure in my life that I cannot keep this to myself.

He made me the person I am today, taking care of me throughout my entire childhood and after, always here when I needed advice or motivation.

If it wasn't for him, this channel wouldn't be what it is today. He's the first person I went to when I was thinking of going full-time on YouTube, and he's the one who really encouraged me to go forward with it.

Every time I would put out a video, he would be watching it in its entirety, and tell me how much he loved it, even though he couldn't understand English.

He's always been so supportive. A great man with an even greater heart of gold, always putting others before him and helping them before helping himself.

He was a genuine legend, an incredible paternal figure and my mentor. I feel so lost without him, and I'm still struggling to come to terms with things.

I know he would want me to keep moving forward, and I will; for him. I'm just not sure how to yet.

Attached: one of my favorite photos of him, with Splinter - my first rat - on his back.
