Brandon, I'm really glad that I read this! You know, I've lost many people in my life...not all as close to me, but each one holding a special place in my life (or the lives of those I care about), and I think that what Abby said was best - that the memory is the hard but beautiful part of it. I'm thankful for the person you are today, and I think that you can take your grandfather's example and try to be that sort of influence on other people. Just be yourself and you can be that influence! Remember, everything you do/say can help/hurt other people and you can be that kind of influence.
Though, don't live in the past - take those memories and continue, like you did with this post, to pass them on. Maybe record this message somewhere where you won't ever forget or lose it and share it with your family, with your friends, with a future mate...don't forget these things because it's so easy for the haze and fog to fill your mind and cause you to not remember...
<3 hugs! and thanks for sharing such intimate memories...
Hey I'm in this one! I'm happy I got distracted during my studying time this morning to read this. I think we all need a kick in the rear to remind us not to take anyone's friendship for granted; especially the older folks. Thank you for your insight, it's life changing :)
This is beautiful. Rarely do I step back and think of the impact others have had on my life but when I do it is tremendously humbling. I hope you're still doing ok Brandon and that you enjoy your summer.
Theres another post made most recently that you were not able to read until just now, it was made last thursday, I believe. Check it out if you wish, it may give you an idea of how I am right now, and I plan on making another post soon enough with a big massive update.
