AFTER FUNERAL
Thank you for all your support my friends. Monday I found out my grandfather passed away and for me it was unexpected. My grandmother was the one i expected, she has bad cancer and was given two weeks. Seems she is going longer than planned, but i did at least get to see her. All my family was there, all the grand kids and great grand kids together for the first time!
Being there gives me willies, i don't like seeing the shells left behind because the person I wanted to see is gone in spirit.
My dad ended up being the spokes person, and their pastor from some time ago. There is alot I never saw from my papa and learned from him. Now all i have is my memories and those around me.
His service was very simple, he was given military honors via the local VFW, and mason honors as well.
It was good to see all my family, i felt so bad when the did one last family time and my granny was wheeled up to see him and she fell forward in grief and it was killing my dad.
Now it's all done for now, i await the second call and trip.
I went by after the funeral, just myself to meet my dad and mom for some time. I won't go into the stupidness my son did after the service, and the issues it caused.
I had some dirty rice and goulosh and cole slaw like my granny made, it was so good! my dad and I talked and looked at pics and my cousins and nephew had a talkie too.
He gave me the flag from my grandfathers funeral, it was given to him on his last flight celebrating the 17th Airborne troops and flew over the capitol in DC. Also a bible, I am named after him, it was his, and last but no least, a hat from the 17th airborne.
I was very touched with the flag. It means alot to me as service and sacrifice, his generation of men and women who served saved the world.
So I am back in town and waiting.
Thank you all for your support!
