It was my grandfather’s 3rd death anniversary yesterday, the 28th. Sometimes I still can’t believe that he’s gone. I miss him. My cousin Jason and his family spent a few days here and I was looking at his youngest daughter… I feel so sad that she never got to know him. My godson Darren was lucky enough to meet him before he was so sick that he couldn’t do more than just lie in bed and watch television.
We had a house blessing too. Three of my uncles and five of my cousins came. It was fun..but the kids wore me out. There were only three of them but the 2 boys (Jason’s younger brother and his son) kept running around and Chestnut kept screaming in my ear.
Jason and his family went home today so I have the house to myself again. My dad has meetings and my mom drove him so she won’t be back for a while. I guess I’ll just do some laundry then draw some more. I was planning to send in an artwork for The Covers Project but I was too busy this weekend. I’ll still work on what I planned but since I can’t meet the deadline, it will just go up on my wall or get packed away somewhere. LOL.

=( I’m sorry to hear about your grandfather’s death anniversary… =(
Hehe, but I LOVE having the house to myself, though!!!
I’m sorry about your grandpa.
Mine has been gone for 9 years and I miss him too.
Aw. Sorry to hear about your grand dad. Mine died 13 years ago and I still feel as though he died yesterday. I miss him a great deal but I guess life has to go on.
Chestnut is such an adorable name. kids are a joy, yes. tiring but joyous
I am sorry to hear about your grandfather passing. Even after 3 years it is still painful. It was 7 years ago that I lost my Pepa and I still miss him daily.
Cousins and family are always fun, but I know what you mean about them wearing you out. I come from a HUGE family, so there are always kids running around here.
It’s always hard when the ones you’ve known and loved isn’t there anymore. I know it’s probably easier for me to say since I wasn’t as close to my grandpas, but at least you had that relationship. I find that death in all should be a celebration… even though younger ones have never been able to meet the ones who passed, they’ll get to know them through the memories that will be told on
I wish I could offer words of encouragement, but I’ve never lost anyone close to me. Enjoy the time you have to yourself!
It’s nice you guys did something for the anniversary, the house blessing sounds nice. It is a bit sad to think about how some of your relatives never had the chance to know someone, but that’s just us being sentimental eh? There’s plenty of relatives I’m sure everyone never gets the opportunity to meet.
Don’t let the artwork go to waste… perhaps it could be a commission, or… sell it or something lol. Auction!
Lol take care.
