One year

Time didn't stop

The world didn't quit spinning

Life continued on

But yet time did stop

the world did quit spinning

life couldn't continue on

How could it?

After only two weeks?

Thats not enough time to get used to the idea of him being sick

Thats crazy

If you'd told me three weeks before

I'd be grieving for my grandpa I would've thought you were crazy.

This whole thing is crazy

Life is crazy

But time didn't stop

and the world didn't quit spinning

MY time stopped

MY world quit spinning

But yet, my life continued on too.

One year to the day

And I miss my grandpa as much as I did a year ago on this day

One year he's missed of my life, of my families lives

So many important things I can hardly believe he's missed

I graduated college without him cheering me on

I got married without him sitting there crying

I got my first job after college without his words of wisdom

In other words, I grew up without him there

Christmas, birthdays, Thanksgiving, everything

But all is not lost and all is not gone,

if nothing else, my grandfathers death has reminded me every day for one year

that life DOES go on and I am not going to miss it.

I just wanted to write something to remember my grandfather by. I have thought of him every day, and I probably will continue remembering him every day. I think the thing I miss most is hearing him call me Krissy. I'm very glad he lived a long life and had a loving family that cared about him so much and misses him still. I have been very blessed to have him in my life.

Without pain, there would be no healing

without tears, there would be no grieving

without sadness, there would be no love

And what is a world without love?
