I never knew my first Grandfather,he died when my father was just a young boy. All I've ever heard about him was he was a school teacher and died of somesort of cancer. There are days when I wish I could get to know him a little. I'm saying I'm not greatful getting to know my step-grandpa Joe but sometimes I just wonder what it would of been like with Grandpa Aaron. Sometimes I just wish I could have some kind of connection with him.
Although I Don't know very much about my first Grandpa. I know one thing. He and my Grandfather we're deeply in love. I know from the way she talks about him. The way her eyes light up and her voice cracks alittle. I know from the way my dad talks about them as parents. I know from the way the both talk about his death. Like it happened too fast.
Before Christmas Kayleen told me Grandma Kay wanted me to have her engagment ring that Aaron gave to her. The feeling I had was excitement, now I would finally have a connection to my Grandfather in heaven. Yesterday I went to her and she gave it to me. It's beatiful! One simple yet elegant diamond and a small wedding band. I have to wear it around my neck because her fingers were so small. I don't mind, I don't really like wearing rings on my fingers anyway. Eversince I've been wearing the rings around my neck life seems brighter. I just seem happier than I normally am. Every bitter thought I've ever had about love has now disapeared. It even gives me hope for my own future someday. I no longer feel single any longer, when I have the rings around my neck I have feel my Grandpa's and Grandma's love living inside of me.
Today I actually looked myself in the mirror smiled ten thousand times and told myself I was pretty. It was amazing.
