On Christmas morning I awoke to a call letting me know that Grandpa was not doing well. His pulse and blood pressure was low and he was laying peacefully. Twenty minutes later he was gone. I have to admit that at that moment my world came crumbling down. I cried, I screamed, I wanted to know why. Why would he be taken from us on Christmas Day? Then my sister told me that she asked Grandma to take him out of his pain. It was then that I got a small smile on my face envisioning Grandpa walking hand in hand with the love of his life on Christmas Day. What greater gift could I have been given. I cried still, knowing that I will never smell him, touch him, or hear him again, but he will be with me forever in my heart. I will cherish his stories always. I will remember laying in bed between Grandma and Grandpa when I was little because I was scared of the Bears in Pennsylvania. I will remember him always asking me "so, do you think it will be dark tonight?". I know to most these sound like silly things but to me it is my childhood. I wish I had just one more day, but don't we all? Grandma and Grandpa, until we meet again........
