First off lets start with my Grandfather passing away. He moved on to the next life early 1/12/06. He served in the air force during the Vietnam War, and the Korean War. He retired after 25 years in the service, i'm not sure of his rank but i know he was one of the top dogs, like a grand master chief or something. He was a devout christian to say it lightly. He wasn't the kind who would force religion on you, but he'd tell you he would pray for you if you needed it. He was on the italian side of the family and i have a really great memory of him and my grandmother who passed last year. She would be on the couch cursing "shit, ahhhh shit" all heavy and sitting in her recliner, while he would be in the kitchen, "shut up Marry." It was great, i love him so. He had a full military burial, with a 21 gun sulute to celebrate his life, and they played "Chaps" on the trumpet that made me want to break down to tears. I know he's with our father though, and i'll meet him again someday.
The day after his funeral i went to probation, and my probation officer violated me for not being able to piss on comand. I have what i like to call "stage fright" which is when you can't pee when someone's watching you, or anywhere around you for that matter. But in this case i acctualy am able after a couple tries of no dice. But she just got tired of me doing this every visit i made, wasting her time. She said i was unsuitable for probation, and that i'll have to take it up with the judge. Also because she came for a house visit and i missed her, i slept right through her calling, and knocking on the door. She claims i wasn't home, but everyone knows i was. Anyways, so there's another court date i have to attend, but oh well. The whole day i was stressed out, but today i have more faith than fear, God's gotten people through harder situations. Still clean and sober, i've got one year on the 22nd of Febuary, ::excited::
Well that's all of my new news, God bless everyone.
