2020 and 2021 haven’t been the best years for many individuals. I personally lost both my grandparents less than 4 months apart. My grandfather passed away in October 2020 of a sudden heart attack. My grandmother passed away in February 2021 from pancreatic cancer. I was incredibly close to my grandparents and these losses crushed me, especially being so close together.
My grandfather was my biggest fan and was so proud of all I have accomplished. He made sure everyone knew how proud he was of me and never stopped bragging about me. He participated in the NAMI walk with me annually. This was so special for me. I miss him and love him dearly.
My grandmother was not as vocal about it but she was also very proud of me. She was the matriarch of our family and is missed dearly. She was the epitome of strength to the very end. She put her family first and we all loved her so much.
I am crying as I type this because I miss them so much. They were such a huge part of my life and it still feels surreal that they’re gone. They lived long and full lives and I can take solace in that.
They are both missed so very much by so many people. Due to COVID-19 we couldn’t have the large funerals for them that they would have wanted. They touched the lives of so many and we wish we could have included everyone who they touched but we were only allowed a few people on top of our family.
This is the biggest loss I’ve ever experienced and my heart still hurts. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of them. They were the best grandparents a girl could ask for. My love for them will never die.
