Pain
This is probibly the worst way to start on of these things but I need 2 talk to someone that is not going to pity me. I just found out that my grandpa is dead. He died this afternoon at 2pm.. or there abouts. For those who don't know me, Like many others I came from a "broken home." I can't think of a better way to put it or I would. My grandparents raised me better than either of my boilogical ones ever have. My grandma was kind and very practical. My grandpa was a hard working man that would have no one do for him what he can do for himself. He taught me that no one will provide for you what you can earn yourself. I rented a lawn mower and some hedge clips when I was 11 and started working for myself to provide for my sister and I what our "parents" were suppose to. He was a hard man but very mischevious. always joking about things that didn't matter and proved that most things don't. people just worry mostly out of habit. when I just started to notice girls, The 25 years in the navy came out of my grandpa... " Check her out. You should get a piece of that before someone else does", or "check her out, nice tits". He was lewd, but at a time when I needed humor to deal with my life he was there. He told me my first dirty joke, made the bike I would eventually learn to ride and take of the training wheels when I could. When I was going through my "I am not human, I am a dog!!" faze, He would bring the dogs ther food, and a sandwich in my own dog bowl. He taught so many thing that I pass on to my friends. But the one thing he didn't teach me is to live in a world that he is not in. I guess The best thing is to remember what he was, and try to pass that on to my children. Someone once said you never appritiate something till it is gone. Thats not true, at least with not with people anyway. I think if that was true, all good people would never know how ggod they are. Just sometimes, some poeple don't know how to express the way they feel. I love my grandpa very much. I was just about to type in something and realize I am whinning, and neither of us would want that. I'll just say Thank you for everything Grandpa.
