bad day.....
today, my grandfather died. he was going to be 80 years old this year, suffered from a blood clot in his brain, stroke, and other health problems, and this morning, he died from a heart attack while mowing his lawn. he was found by one of my grandma's piano students.
it's kind of unreal. and in all honesty, i am more upset by the fact that i'm NOT upset....i suppose i feel like i'm supposed to be really sad, and i should be with my dad and brother crying like nobody's business. but i find i can't even be at my dad's house right now. the whole house has a feeling of sadness.
frankly, my grandpa was a firm follower of the mormon religion, so i know that as he died, he knew in his heart he would go to a better place. we all have our time, and it was his. i don't feel horribly sad about it. it's just the way life is. "death is but the next great adventure," and simply what follows our life on earth. whether something actually happens after death, i don't know. but i'm content knowing my grandfather felt he'd experience something great after his time on earth.
So, Grandpa Elzo, my last words to you were "i love you, and see you soon." and that still holds true. but we may not see each other as soon as i had hoped.


okay, that's enough philosophy and mourning for today, i think.
