Angelo Fiorini, my grandfather died Wednesday, October 12th, 2005 at 2:45 pm.
I knew he was sick for a long time, so we have all been preparing it..but..I don't think it made it any easier. This is the first person I've lost in my life that has truly been close to me..when he was healthy.
I worry most for my Grandmother. 59 years of marriage. Shes still going strong..shes unbelievable..I love her.
I saw him Tuesday night, the 11th, Savanna's Birthday, with my entire family cramped in his hospital room with the Hospice people. The priest, Mike Jones (lol) gave him his last rights and prayed with us for him. It was really nice. For the 3 hours that I was there..my grandfather..opened his eyes..rolled back into his head..and then looked at me for 4 seconds before closing them again. I think he was saying goodbye.
I'm happy and lucky that I got to say goodbye. 80 years of life is a long time.
I'm happy I had a great night last night..with people who make me happy..thanks for that you guys.
So..The service is this thursday, October 20th at 2:00 pm in Delray Beach. I would love for my friends to come that feel that they should. I don't want to force anyone. If your not sure if you should come..think about a few things I guess...do you know my family..my grandmother..did you ever meet my grandfather? How close are you with me? ...lol sounds like a questionare...Anyone is welcome.
So..now..back to reality...because the world doesn't stop turning..what a crazy year.
