Rest in peace Gumpa

My dear grandfather, Don, who I called Gumpa passed away this week. A few days ago. Despite my best efforts from this profound loss, this is the best I can do for today. I’m in the hurricane grief. There is so much more to say. I’m not able to today. I need time to process. Grief sucks every time. It has its own schedule. Because of the pandemic, more so. Gumpa lived a long full life of 92 years. Though my family knew this would happen one day… I can’t believe he’s gone. 😥🙁

I’ll edit this later. (Man the mobile WordPress block options suck compared to the desktop version).

Tell your loved ones and the people in your life that care about how you feel. You never know when it will be the last time.

I love you Gumpa. I’m so grateful to have known you for so long. You will be dearly missed. I’ll remember you for the rest of my life. Oof.

  4. […] It’s been 6 months since I started this blog in March! The anniversary was actually last Sunday, but I my dear Grandfather passed peacefully last week, and it felt wrong not to honor him in a post. It’s still hard to believe that he is gone. Grief is a difficult thing to deal with, and it comes in waves. I’m sad. I’m grateful and happy to have known such a wonderful human, and that I had an example of what a good man, a great human to strive for. The hardest part about is that its dangerous to visit family right now. Online interaction via Facebook helps… I really wish I could visit family, give hugs, and not have to worry about covid. You can read about it here. […]
