i love you grandpa!
incase anyone did not know...mine and dixies grandpa passed away on sunday. i have never really been into funerals. today was a day that i dreaded... just because i don't handle death well...period. mikie dropped me off at the funeral home around 1:30 and i walked in, my aunt bettie grabbed me and said that my nanny had been up crying and screaming all night. it made me scared to even see my nanny... just because i didn't feel up to crying. i saw dix, so i walked up close to the casket and my aunt margaret "dixies mom" grabbed me and walked me over to see my grandpa. i immediately started crying. it was insane..... i eventually calmed down and went over and set with dixie. we held hands throughout the whole service... and cried so much i thought i could pass out. one of the songs my nanny selected was that "did you ever know you were my hero" song.... i believe its by bette midtler. i know it sounds funny...but during that song...it was one of the saddest and happiest moments of my life. i hope one day when i get to be old and grey, i have a hero that i have grown old with to call my own... like my grandpa was to my nanny. after the service we all drove to the grave yard with the police escort, it was lightly raining outside until they started to bury him...then it started to pour. it was beautiful....and it probably seems weird...but it was more beautiful with the rain then it ever could have been with the sun shining down on him. all in all...today was a sad and happy day.... because my grandfather...perry wilson scurlock, the man who called me "princess", and dixie "little bit", died in peace with God and he didn't go through any pain. i can't imagine a better way to go. he will live on in my heart and it will be a great day when we all meet again in that wonderful place and live a beautiful eternity hand and hand. WE LOVE YOU GRANDPA! <3
