Losing someone close to you is a really hard thing to deal with, if you ask me, a lot of people would probably agree. Losing someone you love is the hardest thing to deal with if you ask me, a lot of people would probably agree with that also. I lost not only someone close to me, but also someone I love, My Pa Bill on October 3rd. Pa and I were buddies, he would always say. From the day i first met him to the day he passed away. A bond between grandparents and grandkids is a bond that can never be broken, no matter what. Pa passed away of Lung cancer. He had it for awhile and we thought he was getting better and then out of nowhere. He was really bad and in the hospital and everyone knew he wasn't going to last much longer. …show more content…
It's The Nine Day Trail Ride. It's a camp that people go to and take their horses, i've also seen a few cows and goats down there. They are always pinned up because they're too little to leave at home alone. Nine Day starts the last weekend of July and lasts 9 days, but we always go and stay 11 or 12. Just to get set up early and take stuff down when everyone gone. We always have an awesome time down there. Rain or shine. It's like a vacation away from life for awhile. Nan and pa stay down there in a camper, with hunter and braxton usually. I stay in a tent with brooklyn when she has enough courage to stay outside with me and sometimes some more grandkids would come stay with us… A few years ago down there, nan had to go into town and get groceries and wash clothes and bathe and all that good stuff and everyone went with her besides Pa and I. I don't know what they were thinking leaving Pa and I together but they did and we knew we were going to have a good time, because when didn't we? They left and eventually Pa and I started messing around and pestering each other and somewhere and somehow i stabbed him with a nail. I don't know why or how but i'll never live that one …show more content…
He was always trying to get me to drive it because he's wanting me to go into working with stuff like that. And i'm going to do that for not only him but for myself. And I finally drove the tractor for the first time without anyone helping me, I knew he was proud of me.
Pa was very very loved. By family and friends. He had one son before he met nan and when he met her she already had three daughters and they both acted like they had four kids together. They took each others kids in and never thought twice about it. Pa had an unconditional love for them. And everyone else around him. Pa treated nan's family like his own.
When I found out that pa wasn't doing good, I distanced myself from him. I don't know why. I guess it was just a reaction. I didn't know what else to do and every time i was around him, i just cried. I always felt bad for not going to see him. He would always tell mom to tell me to come see him and that he loved me. Mom always tried telling me to go but I couldn't make myself. I regret it a
