Grandpa
This has been a hard subject for me to talk about without breaking down, but I think I need to at least share it with someone so I am not bottling my feelings up inside.
Some time around Christmas, I found out that my grandpa (on my dad's side) has cancer. Recently I found out that he has started his chemo treatments, but doesn't really care for them. According to my dad, my grandpa would prefer not to take his treatments and let life take its course.
This is really hard for me because I do not get to see him as often as I get to see my pappy (mom's side). My grandma and grandpa live in California and the last time I saw them was probably in 2002 when they were finishing up their road trip. I know it sounds silly, but I am really upset because I don't think my grandpa is going to make it to my wedding in 2007 and that crushes my heart.
I got an email from my grandparents tonight telling me how much they love me and I couldn't help but cry because I know the state my grandpa is in. I can't even imagine what my grandma is going through. I just wish I was able to go out to see them on more time and take Kevin so he could meet them just incase my grandpa doesn't make it to our wedding, but I know financially we can make the trip. It just kills me. Maybe if I am lucky, my mom, dad, sister, and I (along with Kevin of course) could save up money and go out one last time as a family to see my grandparents. I am sure that would make my grandpa very happy.
All I have to say is I love you grandpa and you are in my prayers!
