It's been a long day for me. Yesterday my Grandfather was admitted to hospital with Hypothermia. He had suffered several illnesses over the last few months that had led him to drastically lose weight and at one time he lost all of one layer of his skin.
It was pretty distressing, but yesterday the doctors gave him a slim chance of surviving. This morning I got a call from my mother, he had slipped away in the night.
I immediately felt my heart sink, my grandad was very special to me and I just couldn't believe he was gone. All through the morning, getting ready for work and in the office I just felt as if I was in a trance. It was as if a fog had clouded my mind. I left work early, at 2pm, and went to be with my parents at the hospital. My head was spinning so much that I locked my car keys in my car, this just made things worse.
We entered the mortuary after all my family had gathered together at the hospital. I could see the bottom half of his body through the door, covered in a red cloth. I felt my heart beat faster, until now it had all seemed like a dream somehow, but now I was faced with the truth, right in the next room.
The family went in, one by one. I entered and saw the body of my grandad lying there, still and at peace. That's when it hit me that I'd never be able to talk with him again about his life, never be able to share a laugh or a smile with him. It just hit like a tidal wave and I broke down. All that amazing life just gone, like a light being turned out, never again to share in his life.
But I remember. I remember the things he said, the things he told me and the experiences he gave to me. I will always carry them with me in my heart and mind and he will be alive forever there.
Rest in Peace grandad.
