unhappy valentines day
Well it has been a hard week for my family. Three weeks ago or so we found out my grandpa had pancreatic cancer that had already spread to his liver and spleen. This came as a big shock because he had been healthy all his life. He would go around with his band to nursing homes to sing to the old folk there and hunted and fished all the time, and took walks with his dog every day. On valentines day I got a call to say that he was getting really bad and may not last the night. So I left work after only two hours and rushed up there. He could barely talk and his blood pressure was so low I couldnt believe he was still alive. but I got to lay next to him and hold his hand. And he still new me and could say he loved me. I saw him again after work the next day and all I could think when I layed next to him was how his hands felt soft. He was always such a hard worker and an outdoorsman his hands were always hard and calloused. Ron left the day after Valentines for a work trip so I was pretty lonely and sad and worried. When ron got home last night we went out for dinner since we hadnt gotten to celebrate Valentines day yet. While we were standing in line to get a table at Olive Garden my mom called me and said that grandpa was gone. That was my last grandparent and he was always my hero. Its hard to believe I'll never go camping or fishing with him again, or hear him sing. I miss him so much already.
