i feel that i can now write about grandpa. the morning of december 31st we recieved a call informing us that grandpas kidneys were failing. he had just suffered from a heart attack 3 days prior and was doing better so this was a total surprise to us.
my husband and his mother immediately took a plane that day to tennessee to be with him. they literally made it in time. hours later and passed away. on january 1st at 4:30am our grandpa had left us. he wasn't in pain. he was surrounded by ppl who loved him very much (minus myself). i wish i had only been able to be there to be with him then be able to comfort my husband and his mother.
he was a great man who had a very strong free spirit. he found all sorts of ways of getting into trouble but never hurt anyone. i love him dearly and will miss his awesome stories about his life. i will miss playing cards with him and hearing him blurt out 'awwww shit' when things aren't going well for him. it hurts to think of him not being there. i don't know if i believe in heaven what i do believe is that that great man is not hurting wherever he is.
i love you grandpa and will miss you always....
this new years will be the worst. 3 days ago we got a call and was told that my husbands grandfather had a heart attack. he was hospitalized and they were hoping he'd get better. this morning we were told that his kidneys are failing. they are giving him 2-3 days. he can actually go anytime. this is very hard for many reasons. tim left today with his parents for tennesee to be with him. tim is very close to grandpa so this will be harder for him. i love the man dearly and it sucks that i can't be there with him as well. so many things happened leading up to the reason he moved to tennesee. had these things not happened he'd be here instead. i'm hoping that our friends nikki and damon still come over tonight otherwise i'll be here drinking and bringing in the new years alone. i'm doin everything i can to keep busy so i don't think about what is going to happen. meh.
i will miss grandpa very much. he is a great man and full of nothing but love for people. it's sad to see such a great human being go this way.
