Not that I think that anyone reads my blog anyways...Three months ago my grandmother passed away ( i think I blogged about it)..
Mamita was survived by my grandfather (papito), thought they had "separated" (which really means they had stopped sharing a bed) many many years ago they were still each others companion.
Sadly, 2 days ago my grandfather also passed away.. Once again we were able to ship my father to Colombia and in time for him to spend some time with my grandfather. Saturday, March 5th at 12:30 PM- my grandfather passed to join his life long companion in a much better place. The news hit us all very hard, especially my brother who is currently in Afghanistan. Our hearts were broken for many reasons but mainly they were broken for our father and as I sit here and blog about it i get goosebumps and my eyes get kind of watery to think of what my father might be feeling.
I'm not sure if it's ok to be happy at a time like this. But there are a few thing for which I'm happy and thankful for.
- My father was able to immediately fly and see his father
- My grandfather didn't have a long and painful illness. He suffered from a heart attack that quickly damaged his heart and it was almost instant.
- My father has been in good spirits
I think sometimes that my papito's frail heart could not take the absence of my mamita- and he didn't feel he had a reason to keep fighting and at 92 years of age what else is there to fight for?
I pray that my family in Colombia along with my father are able to overcome this pain. We were all kind of expecting him to follow her, but I guess we didn't expect it to be so soon.
We miss you papito and we hope that you are in gods grace!
