My grandfather died

Tweet

Last week I heard bad news on Facebook that my cousin had rolled her car and was in critical condition. I just got word that she is awake and asking questions so that is good news. As if that was not enough for her family m grandfather died the 9th so now the poor girl will wake up to hear that sad news. I hate when people die and suddenly everyone was their best friend so I am being honest in that I barely know either my cousin or my grandfather. Since I was young our family has never been close. My grandfather lived a few hours away when I was young and I would see him about once a year when he came to town. The only words I remember him saying were “your getting big is your father home” then I would run off and play while they visited. I remember visiting with them one time when I was about 15 and seeing how similar they looked and acted. He had lived in Florida for many years so I saw him still once a year or so for a few minutes if I was home when he came by. The only time I remember actually having a conversation with him was an adult when my daughter was a newborn he stopped to see my dad and I came outside and visited with them. I only remember real talking about the cruise control feature on our cars lol. So I shed a few tears yesterday for those in the family who were closer to him or were closer to him at one time like my grandmother who had been divorced from him since my father was a teen.
