Monday turned out craptacular. First thing this morning, as I arrived at work, was a phone call from my Mom. She called to tell me that my Grampa passed away, very early this morning.
Now, he hadn't been doing too hot for a few years now - pretty much living in his own private fantasy world, while his body deteriorated more and more. So, we all knew this was coming, and it wasn't a shock.
But how do you come to terms with the fact that someone you have always held dear, is no longer a part of your world?
I dedicate this entry to Walter "Opa" Randall, and the laughter and love he brought to my life. He taught me that when life starts going bad, the absolute best thing you can do, is laugh at it. Then you can deal with it. He loved with a heart as big as any, and will live in my heart forever.

i hope this helps somewhat...
and i think you need a friend
He died when I was 19, it was a terrible time for me, I felt I had lost the most important father figure in my life. But I won't lose my memories of him.
