Well, tomorrow starts all the official funeral activities for Pop-Pop. I still haven’t gotten used to the idea that he isn’t here anymore. Everything happened so quickly. Pop-pop was such a great person and will be missed by many, especially his family. I am proud to have known such a great person.
"When you were sick you worried because you could not give me something that you wanted to and thought I needed. You needn’t have worried. Just as I told you then there was no real need because I loved you in so many ways so much. And now it is clearly even more true — you can give me nothing now yet I love you so that you stand in my way of loving anyone else — but I want you to stand there. You, dead, are so much better than anyone else alive."
