August 7th, 2019 we lost my grandfather Dale Christison at the age of 95. He’s the only grandfather I’ve ever known and I feel blessed to have had this man in my life as long as he was. He was an amazing father to 5 children, grandfather, husband, teacher, coach, woodworker, and WWII veteran. My grandpa was a good hardworking man who I genuinely enjoyed being around. Every time I saw him, he would say “hello dear” with a grin on his face and a bit of a chuckle. Something about that would always warm my heart..
My grandpa passed away one month to the day as we countdown to and my wedding and planning has felt like a decent distraction over the last few days. It’s also taken me some time to collect my thoughts and really sit down to process my feelings. At first, the immediate thought is “but I didn’t get to say goodbye” OR “I should have driven to see him more often”. The truth is, life gets in the way and it’s impossible to be everywhere you need to be at all times. What I do know, is that everytime I would see my grandpa, I felt present. I never knew if it would be the last time. So I forgave myself for not being ‘better’ but it is also a great reminder to live in the moment and cherish the loved ones around you.
What I’ve also gathered is that I’ve now experienced loss with people of all different ages. People who mean the world to me in very different ways. No matter the circumstance, it still hurts. No matter how old someone may be or however prepared you are because of their age, it’s still shocking. It’s painful to think about never hearing that “hello dear” again and to think how holidays will have an empty space without a person you love. It’s a void that can never be filled with the presence of another, because that space was for reserved for this ‘loved one’. I will miss you my dear grandpa and think of you often. Love you so very much.
