Grandpa
My grandpa died this morning at 6:30 am.
Last night my mom called me and told me Grandpa was quickly slipping away. I texted my dad and arranged for him to come pick me up at 11 am today. At 11 pm last night I heard a knock on my door- it was my dad! He thought that I wanted to go see Grandpa at night. So I went anyway, and got to the hospital in Marshalltown a little after midnight. My grandpa, who had Alzheimer's, died from pneumonia. When I got there he had an oxygen mask on, and was only able to squint open his eyes. He couldn't talk, and could barely breathe. I got up right into his face and was telling him who I was. I held his hand, although I don't think he liked that because he never was a touchy-feely guy.
Side story: in fourth grade I played the violin. Grandpa loved the violin, and asked me to play him the Star Spangled Banner. I soon quit, and never was able to learn that song. I've always felt terrible about it, so last night I hummed him the Star Spangled Banner with my mom and aunt. It was really powerful, and I was crying so much.
Before I left, I had a little time with him alone. I got up close to his face again so he could see me through the squinting and told him I loved him. I told him that he gave me his blue eyes and stubbornness. And that was the last time I'll ever see him.
My mom told me he died this morning. The nurses were shocked because his heart was still beating so strong. It was just his time to go. It sounds morbid to some people, but I'm really shocked he didn't die before now with all that he has gone through.
I really looked up to my grandpa, and I'll miss him.

looove
my dear friends!
It was so good to be together again at last. It has been said so many times, but isn't it crazy that us four get along so well? I love you all so much (yes, even when you all tease me about being "hit" on at a funeral, and when you, Rachel Wilson, tell strangers about my comment I made in the tent in Mexico about dancing... you stink, Rachel.) Please please please don't ever forget I love ya all!
It has been an interesting week back already, and is going to get even more "interesting" starting tomorrow. I was supposed to make up some of my exams I missed last week, but I just found out my grandpa is dying, and isn't expected to live long. I'd shoot myself if I didn't see him before he died, so I guess I'll just have to reschedule the test again, if they let me.
Keep posting here about how you guys are doing and what is going on in your lives! Or, call me sometime! See ya all soon?
