Wednesday, December 24, 2003 Christmas Eve. There is a lot of memories I associate with this day. Some good, some bad. Twenty-one years ago today, I experienced the first loss of my life when my grandfather passed away. I was six. I don't remember very much about the day other than finding out after taking a bath in the afternoon in preperation for a Christmas Eve family gathering that Grandpa passed away. My mom came in and told me and I cried. I wasn't completely sure what she meant, but I remember she was crying and that I knew his death meant I would never see him again. I don't remember my Grandpa much other than he always sat on a brown Lazy-boy and always had dirt under his fingernails as he was a gardner by profession. To this day, my father always points out that I seem to have inherited his weird and wacky sense of humor. It is a sense of humor few find funny other than the jokster. Knowing though that I have his sense of humor makes me feel good that I have something tangible I can carry on in his honor. I hate that I don't have anything else I can remember about him though. Christmas Day approaches. It is the first for me without Miss Cookie. My family and I had dinner tonite with family friends. When we came home, both my mom and I almost said "hi" to Cookie as we walked into the house. We were both instantly sad. I didn't know last year would be the last Christmas with Cookie. We never know what the future will bring. I hope I can get through tomorrow without being too sad. posted by lisa | linkorama | |
