I knew it was going to happen one of these days. I guess i just kept hoping that it wasn't going to be anytime soon. He has been sick for a while now and finally on Friday morning he closed his eyes and passed in his sleep. My grandpa was 84 years old. He lived a good, long life. I just wished it could have been a little bit longer.
This has been a really weird situation for me. Until this weekend, i had never even been to a wake or funeral; there was never the need. I have been blessed by the fact that until my grandpa, none of my loved ones have ever died.
Seeing him laying there was such an over powering experience.. i didn't know how i was going to react. I didn't cry at all during the wake. I think i was just so shocked. Then today at the funeral i couldn't keep it in any longer. It was really hard to say goodbye. I keep telling myself that i am never going to see my grandpa ever again. I don't think it has really sunk in yet..
