What a week it has been.... Last week tuesday i went to go see grandma for what would be the last time. She was literally fighting for her last gulps of air. It hurt us (my father mother and grandfather) to see her like that. We all had our goodbyes that nite like we had previous nites, but there just seemed like there was something strange about that nite. Something that my mom said that nite has stuck with me and will always be there till my last day. "Sleep well mom you will be with the Lord soon, he will take care of you." Proceding those words we all saw a little smile from gandma. Grandpa kissed grandma and said, "ill see you in the morning hun i love you," and then a kiss. Fighting the tears i put my arm around grandpa and we left the room. Phipipians 3:8 "What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ."
12:15am i had been sleeping with only a few more hours before another day of work on wed. It was mom, "grandma died she said." I cant tell you how i felt or what i felt in that moment but all i knew was that there was no more. No more pain, no more suffering, no more crying no more confusion. The cancer had ran its coarse and The Lord took her home. For 22 days my grandpa sat patiently at her bedside. I was given the option to go see grandmas corpse at that point. It was good that i did not. Once our hearts no longer are pumping the body has a way of not looking so wonderful like it once did. I will spare further details at this point regarding this matter. Furthermore, my mom told me that nite when my grandpa and parents went to go see her dead my grandpa said thease words. which broke my heart. "Its not my time yet, I have to be here for a little bit longer but i will be with you soon." My grandpa then kissed my grandma on the head.
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul.
Grandma was a one of a kind person. She will be soarly missed and loved. I hope that the time that my grandpa has on this earth will not be sorrowful and mourning. I got a bunch of fun things planned with grandpa that i hope to fulfill with him.
1. Go fishing down at the duck pond in wyckoff.
2. Play halo or nba 2006
3 watch a ton of movies
4 eat pizza till we cant eat anymore.
I look foward to hanging out with my grandpa more and just getting to no him and the life that grandma lived and the life they lived together. Grandpa said yesturday "now i really lost my wife." That hurt |
