Papa passed away.
My mom and I had been staying here, at his house, since Wednesday. We saw some of the signs that it was coming and my two Uncles and my mom and grandma and I stayed up all night on Thursday holding his hand and talking to him. He could only respond a little, but he would nod here and there and we knew he was listening and understanding all we said. He died on Friday morning. The viewing is tomorrow and the funeral is on Friday. I don't want to go. None of us want to go.
I will come hold your hand if you'd like. Or the baby. Or entertain Clark? Or bring you food? Let me know.

Erin, I'm sorry. Your Papa gave you your songs and your hopes and dreams and loved you like no other. I am sorry that grandpas die and that your grandpa in particular died. It's really really sad. I love you. I'm sorry. Your friend, Marlene
ReplyDeleteP.S. Maybe you can funnel your sadness into an empire like Sandra Lee did with "Semi-Homemade by Sandra Lee".
Oh, Erin. I'm so sorry for your loss. In fact, I'm tearing up just reading this.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could do something. Anything. Bring you a warm meal. Give you a hug. But since I can't, please know that I'm thinking about you tonight.
