August 19, 2004 - "Eric"

Neko

Georgina's grandfather Eric is not doing well and does not have long to live. I feel as does David that I hope he goes peacefully as he's already just been through too much.

I really wanted to see him again and am upset that I won't be able too. He means so much me and I have the utmost respect and love for him. The following words: wise, wonderful, generous, witty, humble, loving, strong, courageous, caring, compassionate, intelligent, and special all describe him. I was blessed to be able to know him the past few years. He has impacted my life and helped me become a better person. I truly hope I had some positive impact on his life and will miss always.

He has given me hope and a better understanding of the world and how I can see myself better to make the right decisions in life. He truly changed the way I think and see.

I am sad as he is in pain and near death. But I am also happy and want to celebrate such a great mans life and legacy. I believe its good to mourn but when someone we love dies we should also celebrate their having lived! For it would be wrong to just think only of their passing.

I thought about how Jodie is going to deal with it and I started crying. She loves him so much...
