Here's to you...
This week has been one of the most emotional and stressful weeks of my life. Although, it seems to be that way for a lot of people. It's been pretty difficult dealing with the death of my Grandfather. To my surprise, I didn't take it as hard as I Thought I would, but that may be mostly due to the fact that we were expecting him to die any given time. Even though we knew he was going to die, it still doesn't make this whole process any easier.
I really dunno what else to say from here. I had the greatest amount of respect any one person could have for another person. My Grandfather was one of the few people in my life that I never wanted to disappoint. He truly was the patriarch of our family. It's going to be hard not having him around anymore. I was truly lucky to be able to see him and be around him as much as I was growing up. I know that he is one of the people responsible for the way I turned out. I am the way that I am because of him. I really did admire him so much.
He was strong not only physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. He had everything right. He had the perfect balance. My Grandfather really did live his life the way he wanted and he helped so many people and touched the lives of so many more. I've admired my Grandfather so much for the way he's lived his life and I've always tried to take after him a lot. He taught me to be humble, to show mercy, to help those around you in need. I learned by his example. Words can't really describe everything that I took from that man.
But that's comforting to know that a part of him will always be around inside of me. I know that sounds corny and stupid, but that's really the only way I can descirbe it. I know i've stilll got a lot to go through and a lot to learn before I ever achieve what he did. I don't even know if it's possible for someone like me to really achieve what he did.
I'm not really sad over it anymore, well i'm still hurting, but I know that I have lots of great memories of him to keep with me as I go through the rest of my life, and I know that I'll see him again someday. I feel for my Grandmother the most though. I can't begin to imagine how she feels or what she's going through right now. Just keep us in your thoughts or pray or whatever it is that ya do.
Haha I don't really know if any of that makes much sense right now, I'm tired and i'm still kinda out of it.
