Grandparents have special places in our hearts, as we do in theirs. Cherish the memories for they will provide comfort in times to come.
5:30 AM. caffeinated alcohol while doing homework.
I am in a funk with a lot of conflicting emotions going on right now. Scratch that. I am fundamentally sad, homesick, and even though I have Seven and friends here- there is a feeling of isolation.
My grandpa just turned 90 last week, and I all things considered he lived a long happy life. He has made the choice to leave the hospital. All he is taking is morphine and oxygen. No food. No water. So I sit thousands of miles away and remember all the Christmas, the visits to Madisonville for all the holidays. Little conversations that are imprinted into my memory . When his wife passed away two years ago and he spoke at her funeral- he said how lucky he was to marry the prettiest girl in the town, and that she was always the pretties girl in the town.
Those words move me so much because I know how blessed they were to have such a great relationship for over 50 years. He was loved and is loved, and perhaps that is all that we could hope for in the life time.
It's too late for me to say goodbye, and I feel like outsider in my own family for being so far away. I miss the moments of calm before the storm and just show up in the wake of an unfortunate circumstance.

*hugs* He knows his family loves him, which you are a part of.
Be strong, make lots of phone calls.
Sending you lots of love
:huglove:
Thank you for sharing this. I pictured him saying his good bye and it was so touching, but so are your wistful feelings for home. Knowing who you are, I am betting that your family knows where your heart is right now.
What is the point of getting a flu shot if a month down the road you're queazy, aching, stuffed up, and with a fever?
I want a refund and personal apology for making me believe that this year I would be free from such illness.
On a side note, my dog is scared of paper...

You are missed. Random moments of looking at craigslist aren't the same without you. ♥
