Oranges

My grandfather passed away last night, to say that i'm crushed would be understating things a bit.

Edited: The sting's still there, and I have no idea why. My grandfather suffered a stroke a couple of years ago, and he was not in good shape since then. I think for the last couple of years, I've been mourning, but when it finally happened, it was like a ton of bricks. It should be sad that my grandfather was more like a father to me, he was there during many times when my own parent wasn't. He was also the one that gave me my name. Ten years ago, I was travelling to Guyana to bury my mom's dad, today I'll be travelling to NY to say goodbye to 'grandfado.'

Know that as he passed so has his senseless suffering.

Seeing you enveloped by such pain is painful itself.

I am deeply sorry for your loss and I am here to share your pain.

I am your heart.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that! It is always hard to lose a close family member. My grandfather is in in mid-90s and a dread a day without him.
