Great Grandad
I remember playing golf while he would be teaching me what I could do to make it better swing or things to make my game better. That’s all over now he’s gone forever I’m going to miss him so much I can’t explain it and I don’t know it yet. He’s died and it was coming and we all knew it but why now why him, I wish I could have seen him again before this happened. I didn’t get to; if I would have known that I would have been different at the ceremony of what happened to him.
When I think about it I don’t know what to think of it though, I hate these feelings. I love his house so much; it was the place that I could do anything at. You could golf, go to the beach, go sailing, and much more. The house is so cool and fun that my dad wants to retire there, it’s awesome.
My great granddad was a big guy he was 6’4 which is very tall for the time he was born, and he never lost any of it. He had huge feet; he wore like a size 14 or 15 which is pretty big, even now. He made me laugh without even trying to which made it funnier to me. I’ve said it a couple times now but, I am going to miss him so much. For about two years we could tell he was getting old fast, I mean he was 87 when he could walk very much anymore. He could walk so that made it hard in the night time for him if he had to use the restroom or something. When he would try he would sometimes fall and get hurt on the night stand and get burses and cuts.
He was at the doctors a lot so when my mom got the call that he was in the hospital we didn’t worry all that much, then the next morning. I was asleep when my mom walked in and woke me up crying. I asked her what happened and she said “great granddad passed away.” I was so sad I couldn’t talk, but I think that he was happier, because of his age. I am happy for him, and his in a better place now.
