February 25th...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!!!
February 25th is a bitter sweet day for me. On the one hand, it is one of my best friends birthday and i love to celebrate with her. This year we're going to get dolled up and go downtown.
On the other hand, 3 years ago tomorrow my grandfather died. I miss him so much. Sometimes i walk into my house and think that he'll be there. Earl Wilbur Carlin was the greatest Grandfather that anyone could ever even wish for. He was sweet, kind, generous, funny, loving, and he had the biggest heart of anyone i've met. He would randomly breakout in song at any given time and his smile would ight up the room. He loved those "coming of age" movies. He always wore a plaid button up long-sleeved shirt over a short sleeved plain white undershirt and jeans. On special occasions he loved to wear this grey and blue plaid suit (it was awesomely bad). My mom hated taht suit. In the rain he had this jack Landon, little house on the prairie hat that was hard to describe but we all fought to wear it when he wasnt. He is the one that introduced me to Thrifty's ice cream. He tought all of the boys how to pee in the bushes and gave them all their first beers. He would watch and applaud our "magic" shows and talent shows in his forier. He would let us build forts out of ALL of his furniture and blankets. He loved us so much. He would hate to see the mess my family is in now. I wonder if thinkgs would be different if he was still around. I wish he could have been there for my graduation in may, or my sister's wedding in july, or my cousin's baby being born in march. I miss him and love him so much. I know i already said that...
As i am typing this the tears are pouring and its the first time that i have really allowed myself to cry about all of this. three years later...
Well i'm gonna go and think about this some more...
I LOVE YOU PAPA! May you rest in peace.
