Good Bye

Today my grandfather passed away. I am glad to have had the chance to say goodbye last week to the only grandfather I have ever known. My grandparents will be missed greatly. Who knew after they spent 64 years in marriage together they would both pass away within two weeks of each other. I just pray my family still living takes a close look at the loved ones around them, pulls them close, and whispers "I love you" in their ear.

Some good news finally

Well, I can keep my job! I was worried that with my new school schedule I would not be able to keep my job. I also requested 32 hours instead of 40 which was gutsy but yesterday my boss said I did such a good job around there they wanted to keep me and work around my schedule. There, I have given something on turkey day that I am thankful for. Of course there is much much more.

Sad days...

So this past Monday my dad called and said my grandpa was not doing well and could only have a few days to a few weeks left. So needless to say I was making plans to go down tomorrow (Thursday) and stay for a few days and visit my grandparents. Well on Tuesday my dad left a message to call him. It didnt sound good and I figured something happened to my grandpa. Well, when I called my dad he asked if I talked with my brother yet. I said no. He then said, "Well, moms dead." My grandma had passed away late Monday night from heart problems. Talk about unexpected. So I am heading down still tomorrow morning for the viewing and funeral. The crappy part is I may being going back in the days/weeks to come for my grandpa too. They spent around 64 years together which is awesome. It is a sad time.
