Around noon a year ago today I got a call from my mom. I remember answering the phone while blowing bubbles for Wesley and dancing around our living room. I remember each of the sights and sounds of that moment, the first trees starting to turn the warm sunlight coming through the windows the happy that was The moments before. I answered the phone in a cheerful voice happy with how the day had gone. I had just talked to my family late the night before told everyone goodnight and that I loved them. I talked to Gramps about him getting better so he could renew his drivers license he told me I was "lookin good" a big phrase with him when he couldn't see you. It was such a normal conversation and he didn't let me know he was sicker or I would have driven all night. He woke up early that morning and talked to Grams and mom watched the sunrise from his bed Told mom he had a massive headache. At 9:30 she came in and he was bleeding from his ears, he was already dying. Gramps had been so strong right up till his Colon cancer surgery but then, he never recovered.
I am so broken right now. They say it gets easier yet it hasn't I miss you Grampy so desperately each and every day! Today I look at my dreamcatchers I hum little tunes as I get treats for Wes and I and I miss the greatest man I ever knew!
