Apologies
for the blog silence of the past week and a half.
Things
in my life have been crazy.
On
September 28th 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.
