If you had asked me yesterday my thoughts on October 8th as a day, I would have told you that it is hands down my most favorite day of the year. It's got a nice evenness about it that makes me feel really content. I like how when I say October 8th, it rolls off my tongue and I love writing it down, all those o's in October and loops in the eight. It doesn't matter if October 8th falls on a weekend or a weekday, I love it.
At least I did until today. This morning my granddad passed away.
He was the last grandparent I had on my father's side and I am understandably upset by this news. I'm taking comfort in the fact that he was in his mid-nineties and lived his life by his rules, even if it meant being the most stubborn person I had ever met. I know it tore him apart to lose my grandmother a few years ago, and I haven't worked out what I think happens after death, but I know he was expecting to be reunited with her and, right now, I am believing in that for him.
I'm so sorry Regan. I hope what your Grandfather wished is true.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that, Regan. My condolences.
ReplyDeleteMy sincere condolences, Regan.
ReplyDeleteAwww. Hugs to you. I lost my Grandmother in February and I know how hard it is.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteSorry Regan.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your loss, Regan.
ReplyDeleteI think you go to where you think you will when you pass away. If your grandfather believed that he would be with your grandmother, then he will me. Also it makes me so happy to know that he wanted to be with her, it's so sweet and gives me so much hope for human kind and marriage.
