Papa
I just found out that my grandfather passed away tonight. I only wish that I was at home with my family and not here at school. He has been sick for the past month and I was able to see him before he passed away.I've been thinking about maybe saying a few words at the funeral but when I try to say what I want outloud it's just not coming out right. I'm really no good at speeches and words. Life will just be so different without him now. My grandfather had Alzheimer's the last 6 years of his life he was very disconnected with the outside world. He slept in bed all day and had little interest in speaking to anyone. I guess I've come to the conclusion that I just wish I knew him better and could have been a greater part of his life. I know that he died proud of me and my sister and his children. He was loved and he was a wonderful grandfather. I have never dealt with death of someone close to me before but it helps to know he did not die in pain, he died happy around those he loved. Rest in peace Papa, you will always be remembered.
