I apologize for disappearing. I had started working through what remained in my hold. Took a break
to try out the multiplayer for Dont Starve since we were gifted some codes prior to the early access
release, and I received a phone call from my mother. My grandfather was in his final hours. He was
going in and out of consciousness due to medication for the pain. He passed away this last Tuesday
sometime around 5 or 6pm. I was merely 20 minutes away from the hospice he was in.
My grandfather was a father to me. It was always my grandpa and grandma when I was growing up
instead of "mom" and "dad". My father didn't want anything to do with me or my mom, and my
mother had joined the military to have some sort of income, especially since our town is kind of
dead end. I'm struggling with losing him. Sometimes I'm fine and can laugh. Other times I just
crumble when I remember I can't just walk over to his room and talk to him about old movies or
watch the Pink Panther with him. I can still hear his voice clearly when I look at his belongings
and it just hurts knowing he won't be here anymore to make wise cracks at us. He won't be charming
the nurses unintentionally at his doctor appointments and he won't be telling everyone to save their
money. I must have been drinking gallons upon gallons of water to keep from dehydrating because
of how much we've been crying. And I remember, when we were feeling upset, he used to tell us,
"Have a glass of water." Because to him, a glass of water fixed everything.
I will be getting back to work asap. But right now, I can barely even get out of bed. I'm sorry. I
will be going back to work right after the 25th. That is the most time I will be giving myself to
mope around like this. I have learned so many things about his life that he didn't really share
because he was a person who didn't talk about his life unless asked very specific questions. But
the things I have learned about him have inspired something in me that I wish to take into myself.
