At approximatly 9am on 8/31/04 (7pm on the 30th our time) my grandfather In thailand passed away. He was a very ill man so this was an enebidabilty. It wasn't a surprise, but still I can't help but feel sorrow.
I hate how I was told too. My sister came onto my room. And just bellowed
"Grandpa died"...She didn't even sound like she cared. She still had what I could pick up as happiness in her voice from the baseball game she came too. After she said that, she said she already morned from the 1st time we thought he died. Then she started talking about other things.
I wanted to yell get the hell out of my room you stupid fat bitch. Don't you understand anything. I tried to yell...the only thing that came out was "do you have my Final Fantasy 10 game?"I stared blankly at her....I didn't even listen to what she had to say. After sitting for a min, I went to see how my mother was. She was crying. I have never seen her do that in a while. She is the strongest person in this family. SHe was broken. BROKEN. I started crying...I didn't know what to do. I held her hand. She told me to shut the door cause she was cold. We didnt say anything to each other all night. It was a very sad thing...
My stomache hurts, I can't stop eating. I know I'm full...but I can't help but want to keep eating...
A couple of cool facts about my Grandfather.
Born in Cambodia
Was station in Laos during the war.
Met my grandmother in there, and merried her and had 14 kids.
During the war he parachuted into enimy territory to disable radio control.
He has a tattoo of a page of a religous book tattooed on his back which tells the story of creation, complete with pictures.
Owned over 20 achers of land in Udonthaini.
My only regret is never being able to talk to him in Thai...but even without words, we still always understood each other.
