My grandpa passed tonight.
This is the exact thing that has been my worst fear for my whole 21 years of life. My worst nightmare in life was seeing Pop leave. This is the man who raised me. My mother’s father. She loved him so much, but I was sure no one loved him more than me. Pop taught me how to whistle, brought me to school every morning until high school, packed a lunch for me everyday.
I just have to thank God so much for giving me the best grandpa a girl could ever possibly ask for. He was the prototype. The prototype for how a man could love. Love his wife, his family, his children, his Grandchildren. Love God. I couldn’t have found a better man to fill his position if I tried. He was a gift from God and I am so thankful.
My whole life, I feared this. But I am ok. I love Pop with my whole heart. He’s in a better place now. And God is still good.
