So last night was quite possibly the saddest, however, most proud moment I've ever experienced. And I also think I've never laughed so hard in my life. I guess with all those emotions going crazy you're just ready to really laugh once in a while, even if it's over the stupidest, most "this really shouldn't be funny" kind of things. My grandfather was cracking me up...the nurse came in to check on him and she said. "How are you doing?"
Grandfather, "I'm dieing..."
Of course everyone like just stands there in horror and he's like, "If you don't set this bed down...I'm gonna die!" Poor choice of words. Then when all his kids got there they kept asking him questions and all he wanted to do was sleep well I came in the room and he was like "Steph...get these crazy people away from me! Tell them to leave me alone!" Then when he finally started falling asleep he kept saying that he had to get out of the hospital before the ice chips killed him and that he was gonna die from the ice chips. I know I probably shouldn't laugh about this stuff...but seriously...I was so funny...everyone was laughing.
I was so proud of my grandfather because at one time he asked everyone to leave but my dad and my uncle and then he said, "Take care of my children...and take care of Jackie (my grandmother)...there's alot people ask people to take care of in this world that doesn't mean much, but all I ask is that you take care of my children and Jackie. I know you will, I'm proud of you." He says he's ready to go, he keeps telling us that and he called me over and we said what we needed to and he told me that he was really sick and I said that I knew.
Like I said, despite all the sadness and heartache, this experience has taught me more in two days about life than anything else I've ever been a part of.
