R.I.P.

       So today - well yesterday by now - was my grandfather's funeral. He passed away last Sunday. It's a sad thing knowing I won't see him again in this life. Sad for my family. My poor mother now has no living parents. How empty that must feel. But overall I'm glad he went; he wasn't doing so well here. His wife is welcoming him home. But the thing that really gets me is that I'm stuck in this stupid town while my family is together. I feel like I miss everything when I come up here. I couldn't help my grieving mother or visit with family that I rarely see. This really sucks and it's been eating at me all week.
       And Jordan never got to meet him! That was one of my fears; that my family would die before Jordan got to meet them. Specifically my dad's parents. I'm a lot closer to them and it's so important to me for them to meet Jordan. To be at the wedding...
       But let's hope and pray that they stick around for a long time.
