days like this are interesting
Well, today has definitely been a roller coaster of the day.
I got up, took a shower, made sure my things were ready to go and walked out to wake my dad up because I thought he was still asleep. He wasn't. When I came out of my room he was walking toward me and he said "Hi Sissy." I said "Hi Daddy!" Then he held his arms out for me and told me "Pop called while you were in the shower...Great Grandaddy passed away about twenty minutes ago." and i broke down to tears. I didn't get to see my Great Grandaddy that often, but I'd been fortunate enough to get to know him. I was so scared that he was going to die while I was in Tennessee but i was hoping i would at least get to see him first.
I can't tell you how many times i've heard this today "Grandaddy's in a better place now. He's been wanting to go be with the Lord since Nanny died (2 years ago) and he's with Nanny now. I know you're sad, and that's okay, because when someone dies we get sad for ourselves because even though we know they're in a better place we're sad because we're not going to get to see them anymore." And i appreciate it, but this morning I was just so ready to get out of the house and go do something besides sit there and be talked to.
Flo and I ate lunch with the family and then headed back to her house. Since Grandaddy died i won't be getting to stay here for three days like I'd hoped. I'm staying tonight, then we're going back to the town where my dad and grandparents live tomorrow afternoon so we can be there for visitation tomorrow night and the funeral on Tuesday.
I haven't thought about the death a lot today. i mean I have, but i've been trying to keep my mind on other things because when i think about losing great grandaddy it makes me really sad.
We went to my cousin's Bible School Program tonight at church and during the middle of it i started thinking about grandaddy and i almost had to leave the auditorium because I wanted to cry. I cheered up when we got home though because Flo and I learned how to make screen captures from videos on the computer and we've been messing around with that tonight and having fun.
Tomorrow morning we're dropping my cousin off at her daycamp and then running errands. After that we're going to go feed ducks at the park and just talk about stuff. I'm looking forward to that.
sorry if i was a downer. love you all!
