Bad News..

This morning I was sound asleep, well, partly from my phone MP3 player on and my mother called me..
She told me that my grandfather on my Dad's side has had a major stroke and is in critical condition and he's unresponsive..
Grandpa Ed was his name.. He was a strong, stubborn, but yet very warm hearted man.. He was artistically talented.. He would paint beautifully done animal designs on rocks.. And he would carve the most amazing wood carvings.. We still even have a key holder close to the front door which he made for my father,mother, and older brother John when he was just a baby..
He encouraged me to draw.. And taught me a thing or two..
He always knew how to make us laugh..
It's the little memories I can cherish..
As I sit here and type this.. I am overwhelmed with grief and disbelief.. And hoping and praying that somehow.. Someway he can pull through..
Being so far away makes it all the more painful.. I just want to say to my family, through this rough time.. Even though I am states away.. I am still here for you and we will get through this somehow.. I love you all..

Hold tight to those good times and keep your chin held high. It is all right to cry..don't hold it back.
We all love you so dearly and wish you and your family the best.
Your art work is beautiful and learned from such an amazing man. Keep up the work darling, do it for you and for him.
If you need anything I am just a comment, note, FB message, text call away. You know how to reach me.
I will try my best to text you during work without getting caught to see how you are doing and to let you know that I am here for you in many ways.
Just remember shoog, I am here for you through thick and thin, through the worst of times and the best. You are my everything and my family.
I love you sweety. We all love you.
Keep us up to date on how your grandpa is doing, I will inform the girls about what is going on. If something happens...take sometime for yourself and family. Even though your so far away hunny, just be sure to call and keep in check with family up there to let them know that you care for them all ways
Your one and only <3
You will always be my best friend.. My boulder and shoulder to cry on.. And most of all.. My one true love..
Thank you so much for everything.. Every word is precious to me..
