Interesting Times #8
Mar. 8th, 2022 11:46 amWell, 2020-infinity is the gift that keeps on giving.
My grandfather passed away yesterday. He was 93, so it wasn’t unexpected. He’d been in pain for awhile, missing my grandma, who died in 2016, and Mom says he went easily, which is all we could hope for. He was my last living grandparent. I don’t think I can go home for the funeral, which sucks because I want to see my family. I’m more sad about that because I’ve had time to grieve for my grandpa. I got to see him last summer, when he was still pretty “with it.” The last few times I called, he wasn’t really able to talk much. I’m sad for my mom and aunts and uncles. I’m melancholy because it’s a reminder that they will go someday, as I will. I’m sad that I will miss seeing whatever cousins can make it, catching up and spending time laughing and reminiscing. It’s just one more thing to throw on the pile of suck that are these Interesting Times.
