My grandfather passed away yesterday afternoon. He was watching a Yankees game and resting in his bed. He is at peace and out of pain, for that I am quite grateful.
I have my airline ticket purchased… I’m staying a few extra days. My future brother in law is picking me up from the airport. I have nonfamily stuff planned and somewhat set so I can limit the drama and stress in my life.
The most important thing though, I get to be there for my dad, grandmother, and godmother. To honor grandpa & as proxy for my grandmother… I went to mass yesterday. I was surprised at how much I remembered. During the prayer of faith and praying for those who have died that they may see God. They also prayed for those left behind that they would be comforted. I felt grandpa’s presence and I was comforted and without the pain, he will be able to watchover the rest of us during this season.
I will miss grandpa. But, I’m glad I get to be there for those we love most.
