Papa passed today, my mom called me around 10:31 am, the nurse had to call her because Brenda couldn't. I started crying really hard, and I had to call my dad at work to let him know. Grandma Casto called me a little bit after I found out, and she didn't know, she thought I had a cold, so I told her what happened, and she prayed for me and our family on the phone which was sweet. Cindy and Josh keep telling me if I need anything they'll help, and Monty too. They're all going to Sonora with Jarret so Josh can cash his reservation check and Monty can look into getting a job at Black Oak as well. I'm staying here and Michelle's coming over, I don't want to go anywhere, especially a long way away, I get freaked out too much in cars in long distances if I'm not driving, and I really don't feel like doing ANYTHING today. Michelle is bringing over Eat Pray Love though, and hopefully that'll keep my mind off of things. My mom said Brenda will wait until we get there to have the funeral, and we're leaving the 29th and coming back the 8th. I'm so sad right now, I keep hearing Papa's voice saying troublemaker :( I miss him, and I'm so sad I didn't get to say goodbye. He was only 75. All I can think is at least it was fast and he wasn't in much pain, and he's in a better place now... But it still hurts, and I can't imagine how my mom feels. She said it's like a piece of her is gone all of a sudden, she couldn't describe it. I told her I could only imagine, it was her daddy. Her mom's still alive, so this is her first parent lost, and I'm sure it's not easy. Idk what I would do if one of my parents passed. My mom's strong though, she's still at work, trying to get through the day. Anyways, I'm going to post a video and a pic. I love you Papa, you will be missed <333
75th birthday, November 1st
