goodbye grandpa
My Dad's dad passed away early Wednesday morning; the last of my living grandparents.
I'm on my way to be with Mom, Dad, and my bro for the services.
I never was particularly close to my Grandpa. He lived in a different state from our family for my entire life; counting the times I can remember spending with him requires just barely more than the fingers on both hands; and I haven't seen him since Sharaun and I drove to CA from FL some nine years ago.
Still, I expect the trip to be an emotional one.
Goodnight. Bye Grandpa.
