R.I.P Grampy Jerry

I wish I still had the talking bugs bunny stuffed animal he bought for me. I remember being in the store as a little girl and he askd me what I wanted most.  I don’t have too many memories with him, as we were never super close.  I think it probably stemmed from my dad never being close to him.  He was more close with his step father, Grampy Paul. BUT, he was a gentle, soft hearted soul. I’m lucky I got to hang out with him and some family in Portsmouth before he went home last.  I hadn’t gotten to see him in a few years it seemed. He lived down in South Carloina. Most memories were childhood ones, as that was when he lived in Portsmouth closer to home. I get more sad the more I think about it. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s just starting to hit me. He’s the first blood related grandparent I lost. It’s even more sad that my dad had to lose both his fathers within such a short period of time. I hope he keeps his faith strong, and doesn’t lose his happiness and glow that I have seen in his face the past few years.

On a side note….I got accepted into Maine Medical. I go for my health clearance next week to make sure I am good to work in the hospital. I’m excited for this. I hope I can handle classes and work full time too.
