In Memorium

Apologies for the blog silence of the past week and a half.

Things in my life have been crazy.

On September 28^th my grandfather passed away quite suddenly.

Everything has been a scattered mess since then.

I miss him.

I wrote and read the eulogy.

It made my family laugh and cry.

Everyone, especially my mom, told me how proud they were.

I hope that Pap-pa was proud.

I wrote my very best words just for him.

This is the first grandparent that I have lost.

There is a new little hole in my heart.

But each day the ache eases away slightly.

My memories of him shine brighter.

I loved him very much.

I still love him very much.

My normal posts will resume after this, I just felt like this post had to be written first and I didn’t want to write it. It’s all too real that he is gone. It’s all too real that just a week ago we buried him, military funeral honors and all, and they handed that flag over, saluting it in tribute to a great man.

I miss you Pap-pa. I miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you. So much.
