Damn, I re-read this joint and it really got me.



My grandfather had a hard ass life (grew up poor, in the deep south) and eventually made something out of it. The first time I saw him cry was when I left for college. Only other time is when he had like a huge family reunion with his brother and sister.

I remember at the funeral they talked about how he really loved my brother and I. He obviously loved his kids (my mom and uncle), but they specifically mentioned us, like, "he really loved you two." Like he loved and was proud of us man, shyt crazy.

Damn. This shyt mad relatable. Let me know if you need anything breh.
:salute: will do breh

Condolences to you and your family. Glad he lived a long life and he loved you and your brothers. Cherish and remember the moments you had and his memory.

Never met my maternal grandfather and my paternal one died a few years ago. We used to talk baseball together and go to games sometimes. Me and my brother would go over on weekends growing up. Didn't see him as much near the end, just to visit him at the hospital. Wasn't perfect but I know he loved us. It's been a while since I've seen my grandmother.

I had another grandfather figure on my mother's side too. My grandmother had a God daughter. Her God daughter is my godmother. Her parents were good friends with my grandmother growing up. When my grandmother died back in 99, they filled a huge void in our lives. My mom having lost her father back in the early 80s and now her mother. They were like grandparents to us and we were real close. Always coming over for bbq and the family pool parties. My godmother still lives next door. Her father passed away from cancer a few years back, after my paternal grandfather did. I never got to see him at the end, but I still have memories of both of them that I think about. Her mother, I still see from time to time.

Had a period when a few of the elder folks in the family were passing away. Makes you think back and reflect on life and the moments you experienced. My family was and is dysfunctional but who's isn't. I used to enjoy just talking with the elders and hearing about their experiences and advice. Gotta appreciate the little moments in life. Never know when they'll come again. Stay strong during these tough times.

In a way, I'm glad I never got to know any of my grandparents. They all passed before I was 3. :wow:

That loss & those memories. :mjcry: I can't fathom.
