Today...the saturday before school starts up again.

So much has been going on like usual in this life of mine. My grandfather whom we called "Papa" has just passed on to a better place. My family and cousins were all there to witness him take his final heartbeats. Even then it took awhile because he has a strong heart....when they took him off of all the machines I mean.

He had massive bleeding in the head and there was nothing the hospital could do for him. He was working out when it happened...and just this last weekend he finished up painting a fence...still working up to the day he died. So many good memories of him. So many.

I live here at this house and haven't been here ever without him. When I leave to school or come home he won't be here. The pack won their game today and I know my papa would have been so happy just to see the game. He would have watched the game. He died halfway through it. We all sat there with good thoughts of him as we watched the game.

Now. It's me and my grandma here. I still live here and I am grateful that I got to spend so much time with my grandpa. I have gotten to see my cousin Joey that I have'nt seen in a long time....and his mom..my aunt diane. I haven't seen the family together in such a long time.

My sister's dad was there to say a prayer today as well. Arlan was there last night to say a prayer.

For the first time I hugged my cousin Byron and could just tell he loved papa so much. Papa is proud of all of us.

I want to live my life the best I can. And I am glad that my grandpa got share in some of it thus far. He's got to hear about my trips. We all have so much good memories of him. And this is something that will change our family and it is just too early to see how. But however things work out..it was his time and he was a good papa.

Before - next
