9 Days Of Sorrow

Well, the title relays a lot. Since, Saturday, January 24th to now, I have lost two grand parents. My maternal grandfather, who was 87, and my paternal grandmother who was 83.

My grandfather passed away on the 24th and was buried on Wednesday, January 28th. He was a highly decorated World War Two veteran. He had a bronze star and two purple hearts among many other medals. He managed to achieve all that in 7 months while over seas. He was an amazing man.

My grandmother passed away this evening, Saturday, January 31st. She was an amazing grandmother who survived husband by many years. She was always a very dedicated mother.

This going to be very hard on all my family. My father was very close to his mother. Although we has some time to prepare she will be sorely missed. I would ask all my brothers and sisters in Christ to be in prayer for my family. Not just for peace of mind but also financially. We will have to travel down to South Louisiana, which will put us in a financial strain. Also, as for as we know my grandmother hadn't made any funeral arrangements. This will put a financial strain on my father and all his siblings.
