The Passing

My Grandfather, Time, and Life

I was standing in the store, and my phone began to ring.

My aunt was calling me.

“Hey Britt, what’s going on?”

In the background, I could hear…

Her voice was shaky.

I could tell that she had been crying.

I knew what she was about to tell me.

“Grandad just passed away.”

I have been processing this for a large part of the day.

What do I need to do?

When do I need to leave?

How am I going to get to the rest of my family?

I don’t have a lot of answers, but I know I will be figuring it out shortly.

My Grandfather was a Fighter.

He had been in his Second Major Battle with Cancer, and he put in a Strong Effort.

He is Not the first person in my Life who has been in a Battle with Cancer, He is Not the first person I’ve Lost to Cancer, and there is a possibility that He will Not be the Last.

My Mind feels like a Storm of Thoughts Crashing In.

Thinking about Different Types of Passing.
