I'm flying home tomorrow but unlike most of the time I'm not real excited about it. My grandpa passed away and his funeral will be Tuesday. He lived a very good life. He was 88 years old and was married to my grandma 67 years. He lived to see 52 grand children. I think that's pretty special.
We had a rocky relationship to say the least. As a teenager I was a complete asshole to his favorite daughter. I did everything I could to make my mom hate me and to send me to live with my dad. It didn't work but it did make my grandpa despise me for a very long time. In recent years he told me how proud he was of me and how successful I've been. I think he was most impressed by the fact I speak Spanish. He always told everyone about his grandson that spoke another language.
It's gonna be sad but I know my mom needs me there.

That's a great picture of you too, people forgive...it's one of the greatest things that we do. I'm sure he forgave you and was proud of everything you have become.
