So this week I haven’t worked all that much, I only worked Wednesday night. I haven’t worked because on Saturday morning my grandparents and I got a call telling us that my great grandpa was rushed to the emergency room. We didn’t know what happened so just my grandpa went to the hospital. My cousin called and told me that it wasn’t good news so my grandma and i should get out there soon, so I called my grandma at work and she came home and got me. We found out that he had had a stroke. He was bleeding from his brain and there was nothing that they could do. The best that they could was to keep him comfortable until he passed on. So every night this week I have been at the hospital sitting with him, my great grandma, my grandparents, and my 5 other great aunts and uncles. When we asked my grandma what happened, she said that he had been fine, he woke up took a shower, had a cigarette and was playing solitaire on the computer. He heard him start to gag so she went to help him and ended up calling 911. We are not sure when he will pass on, but we know that he will. It has been really hard to keep going to my classes, but I know if I don’t go I will fall behind, and I don’t want to miss if I can keep myself together. My family also nominated me to pick out the music for his funeral and the wake the night before. My great grandpa means a lot to me, especially because I am super proud that he served his country in the United States Army, for about 5 years.
