Just when it seems my life is starting to go right, something comes in and pulls the rug from under my feet. On Thursday, October the 16th 2014, my grandfather passed away from a massive heart attack. He was 87. I had just spoken with him a few nights earlier over the phone telling him I would be home on the 20th, the very next Monday. He had told me that he was so very happy to hear that I was coming home and that he couldn't wait to see me. He then said goodnight, I love you, I will see you on Monday. I said it back, then we ended the call. That was the last I heard from him. He was one of my favorite people in the world, he impacted my life in ways that no one will ever know. On top of the death of Pepa, October the 23rd marked a year since my dog Chance had passed away at the age of 19. This is the most difficult time of my life so far, but I am thankful that I still have my grandmother, little sister, and my 13 year old dog Midnight. It hurts and it feels as though a huge part of my life is missing now, and there are things that I will miss out on with the loss of Pepa. But I have a million happy memories and good times to remember, and he would want me to regret nothing. I do not regret, I only wish I would have had just a little more time. Life can be tough, but I'm a fighter and I know that I will get through this and be alright in the end.
I love you Pepa, always have, always will. You are in my heart forever and I will never forget the things you taught me. Thank you.
~Your Princess.
