Well, my grandfather who lives in Florida has been sick for a couple of weeks now and was put into intensive care just a few days ago. Not to long ago I was informed by my dad (who is in Florida with him) that he is not doing good at all and is not expected to live much longer than a few hours. It seems like only yesterday that he would hold me on his shoulders while walking along the beach, protecting me from those scary, omniscient waves.
He meant so much to me and I never had a chance to say goodbye to him. He wanted his three sons with him in his last hours where he told them to take care of their mother. He is a very tough man he has held on well. It really makes me realize how special life is and how important it is to live it to the fullest. He had a Heart that was as big as he was. He was a great grandfather and I'll miss him immensely.
