Good Bye Grandpa Bill ;-(
It is with a heavy heart that I write to say my 'Fancy Grandpa' passed away at 3:30am yesterday. How do you put into words what someone means to you and the impact they had on your life? How do you begin to move on without feeling guilty that you are smiling when someone so important has passed on? What do you begin to say to those left behind? How do I tell my daughter that she had a Great Grandpa that thought she was so pretty and loved watching her giggle but he is not here? How do we sit at the family table this Christmas when a void is left at the head of the table? Or an empty rocking chair with his 'numm numm's" (remotes for those who do not know Bill-speak) at arms reach? These are questions that I am faced with and have no answers to. I will remember his sense of humor and love for movies. I will remember how hard he took it when our family dog 'Sam' passed away. I will remember all the times that he told me "You look good kid" or "You're a good kid". I will also remember the admiration he had for my Nan. Many times he would tell me how much he loved her and how special she was to him. He also let me know that she was 'hot' on some occasions. When I remember him I will remember the good, not the sad times spent alone in the Hospital in obvious discomfort. Why didn't I give him a big hug at Kailey's Birthday party? Why didn't I get a picture of him holding Kailey?
I hope Fancy-Man is somewhere amazing watching a movie in High Definition with the stereo turned up way too loud, shoving Quality Street Chocolates in his mouth 90 MPH. I hope he is wearing one of his classy suits while sipping some Drambuie. Most of all, I hope he enjoys the feeling of health that he has not had in so long & realizes that he meant the world to me and so many others. I thank him for all the laughs and his honesty. I will remember you always as my Grandpa with the tough exterior with the warm teddy bear inside.
Fare-ye-well.
Love Shari
