It has officially been half my life that my grandpa has been gone. That is hard to think about. Every year I do a blog about my grandpa's death, and I do so for a few reasons. One is that it is one of the only times I let myself relive those moments. That day was one of the scariest days of my life and one of the most life altering. Second, I want to make sure I remember his "got to meet Jesus day". Even though I am sad that he wasn't there to watch me and the others grow up, I am happy knowing that he is in Heaven with Jesus!
I have been dreading this anniversary for a few years because I knew it would be the "half my life without him" point. And yes, it's as hard as I imagined it would be. I think about my grandma being without him and it breaks my heart. I truly believe that they were the love of each other's lives and their time together was cut so short. I think about all the things that he's missed over the years, and it makes me really sad.
But he gets to watch all of our lives play out from above and he is the one having a blast with Jesus, so I guess we should all be happy for him and not sad!
Love you Grandpa Charlie!
