Wednesday was a weird day even starting out. I felt like I was the only one on campus, I saw nobody on the way to my class. Later after tudoring I went to the garden to take some pictures and the walk there had an eerie feeling for some reason. Well no really eerie but it was a strange calmness. I had everything together finally... or did I?
After shopping at Meijer and before Martha Stewart came on my dad called. My grandpa had died. I was upset at first and found it hard to concentrate especially because none of my family was around. But I do believe he helped me through it. I woke up on Thursday really just in a trance getting my classes done and getting my test done.
I never got upset on Thursday though, I sat outside after my test because it was sunny, cool, and the leaves were blowing. It was really a beautiful day. It was then I got the sense that he was alright and in good hands up in heaven. I know that God is with him and he lived a good life down here on earth right up til the end of his days. I love him and always will.
It's going to be weird getting off that plane on Monday and not having him there to pick us up like he usually does, I'll miss him. But by going down there for this week I can say goodbye and be with my family and be able to move on feeling better about it all.
