im so glad i was in new york this past week visiting my grandparents, because my grandfather died this morning and i was able to say goodbye when i left on wednesday night. when i left, it was one of those things where you give someone your last looks..i guess i was thinking of elizabethtown..but i did. it was the first time where i looked at my grandfather and thought, i really don't think ill ever see you again. it's hard because he was my favorite person, but, at the same time...while i was there he was telling me how all he wanted to do is sleep, and how he was so scared but he thought he would be in heaven already. he wasn't happy anymore really...the cute thing is, my grandfather had his birthday dinner last night, with most of my family, and they sang him happy birthday and ate cake, and he tried to tell everyone something but couldn't get it out, so he just waved..and that morning he died. im just so happy he had that moment before he died. the nurse, chantel said that the night before he died, after the dinner he kept talking to his mother. i'm just happy that i got to say goodbye.
