Pappaw Bob

A couple of weeks ago, my Great Grandfather passed away. He was in the hospital for more than a month. This was my first significant loss of a loved one. My entire family was on egde for weeks. The funeral process is basically a blur in my mind now. I remember standing at visitation, looking around at the beautiful arrangements of flowers and trying to remember memories of our loved papaw Bob. The day before the funeral i was asked if i wanted to write anything to say. I wanted to do it but at the time everything was so cinfusing i couldn't think of what to say. When visitation hours were through, I went home and cried. I wanted so badly to be able to say something about a man who was so important to my family, the words just wouldn't come to mind. So i thought about for a few hours until i finally found a siple way to get the words across: i decided to compose a lidt of things I will miss about him. The list was a success and i surprisingly didnt break down in front of everyone like i thought i would. My family is doing much better now. It will take time to heal from a loss like that, but we all have faith that everything will be okay.
