A grandpa like no other

I want to appreciate @surpersinggoogle for the opportunity to make sense out of pains and tears.
Writing about those unpleasant moments can't take the bad feelings away, but it can do a lot in reducing the pains.

To loose someone we love so much is not what we can treat or handle anyhow.

Thinking of the vacuum they will forever leave in our heart worth been worried about.

But notwithstanding, learning to let go is one of the best way to have back our beautiful smile

I could remember the day my grandfather said goodbye to this beautiful world, for me it was as if the whole world should come to an end.

I wasn't aware of his sickness because I was in a far distance to where he was.

They kept the secret away from me because they knew how close I was to him.

Each time I call and ask about him, all they tell me was that he is fine,not knowing he is far from that.

Oh, I haven't tell you about my grandfather yet, he was my best friend, my confidant and my advisor.

I can't pay him a visit without getting tokens to buy whatever I want....smile

A month to the time he died, he sew cloths for all his grandchildren.
They always tell me he was a tailor during his youthful age, but I don't met him practicing that. Not until the time he sew cloths for all of us.
I was surprised to see him mounting on sowing machine to sew those beautiful clothes for us.
I was his helper that day, I helped him to iron all the clothes. That was the last quality time I spent with him before I traveled.

We did not know he was preparing for his demise with all this strange acts.

On the day he died, I became so restless where I was as if I knew something was going to happen. I put on my dress and traveled down to my home town with the motive to go to see him.

I was shocked to see so much crowd in our house waiting bitterly and those that saw me coming was wondering how I got to know about the news so fast.

Seen them from afar created a kind of fear in me, I was wondering what could have happened,i dropped the bag in my hand and ran as far as my legs can carry me.

I was down to the earth when I learnt about his death,i cried out my eyeball as if my tears can do the wonders of bringing him back.

Why can't you wait for me at least to tell you goodbye? I lamented

Everyone in the room was trying to protect me from injuring myself because I can't remember how many times I hit myself on the ground.

His death was too bitter for me to swallow that day

I still miss him up till now, I miss his advice and guides. I miss his gifts, I miss everything about him
Sleep on grandpa, I wish you never leave me till eternity....

Touching story. Your experience proves to us again that hiding someones sickness is never a good idea. Even children should know, these are natural happenings in a person's life and when we know we have time to prepare and say goodbye. The fact that you felt his death just proves how close you were.

They for stopping by, they did took him to hospital, they just kept it from me, they knew I was so closed to him and I could do anything if I should find out about it.

Wow, its a pity and saddened ones heart a lot for losing someone we love dearly. May grandpa's soul rest in perfect peace and we all shall meet someday and rejoice together! Grandpas are lovely and they love their grand children so much!

It is not an easy thing to bare... I wish he is still here with me... I love him so much... But the joy of it is that we shall all meet again like you tightly said.

Hmmm. Life they say, is a stage, act and go

Yes, but if I should have my way, I would love to keep him with me forever.. Thanks for stopping by
