week later, when I stopped by to see my grandfather, I found him dead inside his home. Immediately after finding my grandfather, I walked next door to his neighbors to use their phone. I do not know why I did not use the phone in his house, perhaps I just needed to be with familiar people at that time. After telling the neighbors what happened, I called the sheriff’s department non-emergency number. I then called my father at his work to let him know about my grandfather.
Here is the weird part, I knew these number’s by heart and did not have to look them up! I know I must have used them in the past but why would I remember these numbers? It is amazing how extra adrenalin can allow you to remember things you normally would not.
I then called Vicki and asked her to leave work to be with me. She was a great comfort for me during this difficult time. This was also her first experience with death in this situation. Her grandfather passed a few years ago but she did not have a part in it as she was having with me.
It was obvious he was dead for several days and his mail had not been removed from the mailbox for at least 6-days. It was determined he suffered a massive heart attack and died instantly. To this day, I can still feel how I felt as I called my father to give him this news and asked him to tell my mother.
I lived in that house for many years and it was hard to believe that both of my grandparents were now gone. I had a lot of fond memories there but I knew that things in life have to come to an end, including life itself.
My grandfather passed away 11-months after my grandmother. He held up well during those 11-months but I am sure he was much happier to be able to be with her again.
This Christmas was a very sad and lonely Christmas, having lost both of my grandparents since the last Christmas. I do not know how I would have gotten through these difficult times if it were not for my Miss Vicki. She always seemed to know the right things to say and what to do to help ease my pain.
Jason’s Uncle Kevin fixed up a little Honda 50-cc motorcycle and he, Vicki’s parents and Vicki’s Grandma Barrett gave it to Jason for Christmas. It may have been a 20-year old bike but Kevin did an awesome job and Jason thought it was the greatest thing ever!
