15: Grief Pt 2



    My grandfather recently passed away. This is the first time I have lost someone close to me, so it is my first time experiencing real grief. Being at school and away from my family has been really tough. However, I have been better at keeping in touch with them, and I call my grandma every week to check up on her. 

Grandpa was an avid runner. He was still running half marathons at 80. My grandma is still running. I walk past this bible verse at my gym every day and never think much of it. But today, it struck me and made me think of my grandpa. My Grandpa had a very close relationship with God, and so does my grandmother. Seeing how my grandmother's faith has helped her through losing her husband has really inspired me to consider figuring out my own relationship with God. 



So I took a picture and sent it to my grandma.

Grief Part 1: Blog Post 7

My grandpa passed away this past week. Unfortunately, I was not in a suitable headspace to speak at his funeral. After his funeral, I felt like there were things I still wanted to say, so I just wrote a little something. Here it is.  My grandpa was the most brilliant man. He taught me so much throughout his life. The most important lesson being kindness. He always wanted to help others. Whether it be with a family or a stranger, my grandfather was patient and compassionate. He never wanted the attention on him, which really made him the ying to my yang (i.e. picture below). I've told myself a lot this past week that if only I had one more time with him, things would be better. But I realize that one more time would never be enough, and I would always be asking for more. So I'll save all my "one more times" for when I see you again grandpa. Until then I'll try to be a little more like you everyday .
