Ohhh grandpa as I used to call you. I have never cried so hard in my life and truthfully I cant believe it. The last we spoke you were so mad at the hospital staff and told me on your way to coffee you were going to stop by ;( damnit you didnt make it. On Saturday I got that feeling. You were the only one that understood. I for some reason found myself on my porch looking over at the appts and woke up this morning with the heaviest saddest feeling in my heart so I decided to text your number only to get a bounce back message back. One tear dripped down my face and I searched to see this :( NOOOO! You were supposed to see the happiness that is happening in my life right now. You were all I had male figure wise :( I wish someone would have notified my so I didnt have to find out like this. Rest in peace grandpa!! At least you don't have to deal with anyone bullshit anymore. I love you old man! Thanks for always being there for me and the kids! RIP!!
