Grandpa Cec


I have been very lucky, I have had the joy of having all four of my grandparents my 32 years of life. No divorces or death. I have stayed close to my grandparents my whole life. They have been there for everything. I feel very blessed to have had these relationships. But, as we all know, nothing can last forever. Last night, around midnight, my beloved Grandpa Cec died of natural causes in his home. I am grateful he died this way, in his sleep and in minimal pain. I love him very much and I am not sure, exactly how to feel. I know that he is with his brothers and sister, his mom and dad and also his son, who died last year around the same time. I will miss him. He was a teacher all his life. He loved reading and writing. He loved a good joke and told many. His passion was music. He could sit and listen to all the classics for hours and hours. I am grateful I had 32 years with this fun, intelligent, sprititual man. I will miss him, but I know I will see him again someday, and for that I am eternally grateful.

I love you Grandpa, and I will always remember and miss you!

Niki, I am sorry about your grandpa. Sending you and your family much love and prayers your way. Here is a quote a friend gave me when my father passed away and I really like it, hope you do also.

Love you Niki
