NWR- My heart is broken...please pray.

It is with a very sad and heavy heart that I tell you ladies that my grandfather passed away of a heart attack yesterday. He was just 69.

It was quite a shock for me and my family, though he has battled heart disease for 30 years. he has his first open heart surgery shortly after I was born, and he was fighting ever since.

My grandfather meant more to me than he could ever know. He was still raising crazy teenagers when I came on the scene (my parents were both 17 when I was born!!) but he made it his mission to make sure I was taken care of- and placed the father figure burden on himself when his son abandoned my mom, my sister, and I.

I am the oldest of 10 grandchildren and one great-grand child, yet at 30, he still greated me every time with 'what is it, my baby'

when I first go engaged I told him I couldn't wait to dance to our song 'sumer Wind' at my wedding- our own little father daughter dance- but I had to settle for the last time we did- this past May at my cousin's graduation party.

needless to say, I probably won't be on much for the next few days.

Ladies, please let those you love know how much you love them. I know grandpa knew how much I loved him, I just wish I showed him so much more!
