my grandpa

well i didn't know what to write about at all
but i just heard a song that made me think of my grandpa
me and my grandpa were the best of buds
i would go there EVERY day after school
i just remember
the regular day there
i would go there and drink coke and eat baby dill pickles, pretzels and twixs.
we could do absolutely nothing and i would still have the best of time.
whenever my mom was making me mad i would just say i am gonna call papa and tell him your being naughty.
he would never ever get mad at me i could probably of hit him and he would have just smiled.
but then on one day in fourth grade i got a letter to get a ride home from my next door neighbor,
kate ellertson
and i was like that is really weird cause i usually ride the bus home but i was just like whatever.
so when me and my sister got home both my mom and her fiance were home.
and i thought that was just super weird
and then when i got inside my mom told me my grandpa had passed away.
i was just like NO your lying.
and she was like i wish i was.
i just started to cry so hard.
i was like yelling why did God have to take him away
he was only 63
i just didn't think it was fair at all
i only knew him for like 9 years
and he was my last grandparent too.
so i thought it was super ufair.
i would just keep asking my mom why he would take grandpa
away from us and she would say lynzie you have to understand God has everything planned
for every single one of us and now he is in a better place and he is with the one true love of his life.
i just felt so guilty cause i hadn't talked to him for like a week.
and i remember i was so mad about that.
the only thing i have left from him is a note that he wrote me and i did have a picture of me that he hung in his car but then i lost it and i was so mad at myself.
and the only things other then that is pictures
and you cannot forget the memories.
you can take all the material things away from me
but nobody can take my memories they will go on and on
in my heart till i die.
but the sad thing is sometimes i forget his face
and it just makes me so upset
another thing i miss is his voice
but the good thing is i have a videos of him
so i can listen to those to remember him too!
but i just know he watches over me everyday and he is here in spirit.
i love you papa!
and i will never forget you!
