Absolutely! While timely goodbyes are ideal, a sincere belated message shows you care and were thinking of him, even if life got in the way. Your grandfather will likely appreciate the effort and thought behind it.
How do I best apologize for the delay in my message?‹
A simple, honest acknowledgment of the delay is often best. Phrases like "I know this is a bit late," "Forgive my tardiness," or "Life got a little hectic, but I wanted to make sure I sent my wishes" are gentle ways to express regret without over-apologizing.

Personalization is key. Refer to a shared memory, an inside joke, or a specific quality you admire about him. Reiterate your love and wish him well in his new chapter, emphasizing that your affection is constant, regardless of the timing of your message.
