it's sunday. so far things have sucked. my grandfather died on friday. he was married to my grandmother since before i was born, so in fact he was the only grandfather i ever knew. all of the blood ones died before my time. he had been miserable since my grandmother died in august. i avoided the calling hours last night. it is not something i like to put myself through. my brother said my dumbass father called and told him grandpa had died in a voice mail on his cell phone. that is so not cool. but what should i expect from the man. i left work on friday after talking to my aunt and nate came straight over. he was here until this morning. grandpa was a grumpy guy. not mean. just gruff. he had the most amazing blue eyes, even at 82 years old. he had such a quick wit. i learned a lot from him in that respect. i always took him on when i saw him. i was the one that mouthed back.
