Rest In Peace Grandpa~
This week has been really hard on me..My grandfather died Monday. We were suppose to be up there and see him the next day...thats what we were planning on but then again carefully laid plans arent as good right? This week has been really hard and I summed it all up in an email that I sent someone. I sent an email to Richard which stated that I might see him soon I hope and he replied it to as...
Sorry to hear about your grandfather. My prayers are with you and your
family.
-rm
I was really touched by the email because he just heard about it.. Im not sure if it was before or after he died...probably after. Im very grateful for Richard and here was my reply..to him...
Richard..
Thank you soo much..It really means a lot to me that I recieved this. Its been hard but I'll make it through. A few tears once I heard about it Monday around lunchtime and then none up until the visitation that was served yesterday and then at the visitation I cried..I cried finally cried and then at the funeral the next day there were only a few tears...but I know God is with him now and thats all that counts. Paster and his brother came up for the furneral and it really surprised me there. But it was a great comfort seeing familiar faces all around. Its really been hard we've been up here the whole week and I just want to go home now and into my old bedroom...
Im only sorry that i will miss you this Sunday as well. My family and I will leave sometime Sunday and so we will miss each other again and I probably would have like to see you this Sunday as much as I wanted to be called Steve again by you.
No more tears for me...because I know now that my grandpa is up in heaven now where he belongs..with Jesus..."Dont cry...because grandpa is up in heaven with Jesus" thats what one of my many second cousins(I think) said to her daddy.
Have a great week! And I will see you soon..I hope!
God bless you
Steve
He fell through the ice...on Jan.8 and proclaimed dead on Monday January 14...and yeah..
Not many tears as I said..it was a closed casket..and yeah.
My song dedication is One Sweet Day by..Boys II men and Mariah Carey. When I did the song dedication before...I didnt know the real meaning of it..I kept on singing it like any other song. But a couple of days before the funeral we were listening to it and Mom was like thats the perfect song for grandpa... And after the funeral and the burial which was nice...my mom said wheres the song so we can listen to it on the way to lunch to greet more friends..as the first few words came out...I started crying and now the song has meaning for it!
So heres one sweet day....

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Darling, I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
**Love you all**
