New year, and such
12 years ago
Heya everyone!
So, last year was awesome. That's my summary :P
Finally finished my divorce and got rid of the truck, found the wuffy of my dreams, and got to attend MFF2012, which was my best con yet, out doing MFF2011 by a landslide.
That all aside, my holidays were ok, right up till my current point. My grandfather suffered a stroke after open heart surgery. After several bad weeks of him in a coma, the best doctors he could get said he was not going to make it. Life support was ended, and after Christmas, on Dec 27th shortly after 7am, he passed away.
I will spare the bad emotions and feelings I have been going through, as well as my worries for my grandmother. But, needless to say, I am not spending my birthday at my grandfathers funeral...driving there to be more specific.
Life is something you should always cherish. The impact you have on the lives around you might be more then you ever could imagine. For those you do love, tell them. You never know when a simple matter might turn into their flame being snuffed out. I got to spend time with my grandpa in Florida very recently and am deeply happy I was able to see him, happy and well, before the surgery.
He believed deeply in God and I know for him, he is in a better place. Death is apart of life and I usually handle it well, but to be honest, this will be my first funeral I have ever attended, and it's for someone who held a great amount of respect in my life, a man who left me with some of my greatest memories from my childhood.
I am getting a bit choked up typing this now, so I am going to cut it off here. Do yourself, your loved ones a favor, pick up the phone and give them a call, or better, go give them a visit. Let them know you love them. It might be the last chance you get.

*hugs* I don't know how it is to loose a grandparent. But I know loosing anyone close you is hard. That's a hard way to end the year but he is comfortable now. hopefully the new year is full of fun and happiness for you and Thay.
