not dead.... just sleeping

I don't do too well with death. 

Then again, a lot of us don't.

My grandpa died two days ago, a Thursday.

I had just seen him prior, on Saturday.

He looked sad, tired, and ready.

He told me to not worry about what has happened, 

for the gift of today is mistake and tomorrow forgiveness and a lesson.

I am happy for him he passed, it was in his sleep and it caused no pain.

But the hard part is letting go, and knowing hes just gone.

It seems I've dealt with a lot of death the past years.

It's said that to live you must know there is a death,

but to die you must know how to live.

The difficulty of realizing when someone is gone for sure,

well it's almost unbearable.

and for a few days, months, maybe years... this pain wont and cant settle for no man, its a Void.

I believe there are different forms of death,

whether it be physical, mental, emotional... love including.

If you ever experienced the death of a loved one and the death of a romance...

for a split second it feels the same.

The bright side to this is that "through time... all will heal", so cliche' yet true

I may always miss my grandpa even though he's gone but I have those memories.

and the photos are a perfect way to remember as well.

Breathe. Om. and think Positive.
