When my grandfather died i thought i will never shed a single tear for him. My parents got separated when i was young and i grow up at my grandmother at my mother's side so i don't got the chance to thoroughly know my grandparents at my father's side. I don't have enough good memories with them to cherish. I can't remember there's any. So when he died a month ago, When i first heard the news there's nothing i really feel for him. For me it just any ordinary news that i've heard. And just said to myself " ohh so he already died". Well his aready old and its good that he has already rested. And this time for good. But when the Internment comes when i prepared to stand up to read the chronological service for him. I can't help but cry. I cried even before i started reading about it. I controlled myself not too but the more I tried to supress it and control my emotions the more tears falls down from my eyes. It was then that i realized that no matter what was our past was he still have a space in my heart. And Im gonna miss him. How about you have you ever experienced this in your life?

Hello cajun, Ohh sorry to hear about that my friend. It's not always easy breaking up with someone whom we once dream to spend our lifetime with. I can relate to that since i came from a broken family too. I've been through with all that hardship. And Im telling you it is really hard. I wish and hope that you will pass through all this test too. Just picked up yourself and try to get your strength from your children. You need to be strong now more than ever. Your children needs you so be tough! You can do it my friend. God is always in your side.

I know you can pass through all this ordeals Cajun. Just believe in HIM and He will not leave you alone. Let time heal all the wounds that this hardship cost you. Guide your child, inspired them and taught them with the proper values, give both of them enough reasons to believe that there is still a lot of wonderful things that this world enstore for us. I am not very good in giving advices that is why i am not advicing you right now. I am saying all of this, because that was my mother taught us before. And it really help me and my siblings to become a better person. I am hoping that somehow it will help you and your family too. Good luck and Godbless Cajun! :)

I lost my grandmother on May 11, 2006 it was a sad day. I was in shock she had alot of good and she also had bad. But when she did good she had a sweetness about her. the same sweetness that reminds me of my mom. I realised then i better apprecate the times i have with my mom because we won't be here forever. It's scary to think about.
