@seabass716: today 9/11/2023 marks the 7th year without my grandpa. i cant even start to explain how much i loved this man. i usally dont post these types of things about loved ones that have passed but this one hurts just a little bit more today than usual. i was 11 years old when he passed away and didnt really know how sick he seriously was. When ever i went around him i acted like he was going to get me sick. he would ask me to sit with him like i would do when i was younger but i never did. the last time i saw him was at a hotel before he passed away. while we were at the hotel there was a pool. I sat there swimmimg 99% of the time and spent the other 1% of the time outside with him talking with my family. Little did 11 year old me know was that this was going to be the last time i ever got to see him. When i left i dont even remember saying goodbye and i love you to him. just a little but later he ended up in the hospital and was in very critical condition. I asked my parents if i would be able to go in and visit and they said no. The said no to me because they were scared for me to see how bad he was. a while later i found out that he had passed away. When i heard this i just sat there, i felt nothing, I couldn’t think or even talk. i was extremely upset but had no emotion. How could someone that played such a big role and meant so much to me just disappear. Going on a little bit we had his funeral and i remember walking into the funeral home and it was completely silent but it was weird, the whole room was filled with my family and people that i didn’t know. as i sat there in that room i felt the sadness and anger from everyone. My grandmother was in tears the whole entire time. As i walked up to him at his casket it felt like it wasn’t even real. Then came the speaches and i tried to keep it together the whole time but i finally broke. it felt like i had just lost a part of myself and i felt lost and hopeless. when it was the end of the service and time to leave i said my final goodbyes to him and left. That was the last time i got to see my grandfather. I miss him so much. Always remember to say I love you to thoes ones who mean alot to you because you never know when the last time you ever see them will be. Always enjoy the little moments with them and never take time with them for granted like i did. I love you. #fyp #viral
