my grrl was on her was out the driveway yesterday morning when her mother called..it was their grandfather..he had passed away in the early hours of the morning in his nursing home..
i dont think i've ever seen or heard my grrl cry like that..and if truth be told it brought back a few awful old feelings of my own..
but yesterday wasn't about me or any unresolved stuff i have with my dad's death..it was about my grrl and being there for her.
so the grrl and i went off to her sisters, then from there we headed down to phillip island so that the grrls could be with their folks. despite the sad circumstances, it was a nice day spending it all together. we all went to the beach and just hung out for a few hours, and before heading bck to melbourne we all had a nice dinner at one of the local pubs.
the grrl's dad was pretty pensive...but i guess losing your father does that to you. there were a few times i just wanted to go up to him and say something or hug him or something - but that would have been totally out of character for me so i opted to just do/say nothing.
because of the time of year, the funeral probably wont be until monday..and tomorrow the grrl and i are going to head back down to phillip island so we can all spend new years eve together..
hopefully kater and ant haven't changed their plans and they're also gonna come down and spend new years with us..which will be good..i think that my grrl coul use some distraction and a few laughs..
