Dad Called Me...

I've already written that my grandma passed away last Sat. July 21. This morning was the funeral, and my sister, Dad, and I weren't able to make it, as it's in another state and we just can't come up with the cash with these darn gas prices. Well, about 15 min. ago I got off the phone with my dad. When I asked if he was alright, he said No, and started bawling. The only time I've ever seen or heard him cry was when my mom was real sick w/ breast cancer (stage 3), and everyone thought it was just a matter of time. But thank God she pulled through it and is alive and well today. It jus broke my heart tonight hearing my dad over the phone crying like that. I couldn't imagine losing one of my parents, so I don't know what he's going through, really. BUT she was my grandma, the sweetest lady (besides my mom) I've ever met. I miss her terribly.

Jul. 28, 2007 at 9:44 AM I do know how you dad feels because I lost my dad on Christmas Eve, nine years ago.  It still seems like a piece of me is missing, but every year it gets easier.  Instead of crying now I remember all the fun times we had together.  I know he is watching from up in heaven.  I wish you and your family peace in your hearts.  Our memories are special.  She will live with you forever in them.  God Bless!
