Hidden Journaling:
When the average person looks at these pictures, they think of a beach house, and relaxation and fun. When I look at these pictures, I think of the house and the dock that changed my life and my family’s life forever. I was only ten that spring, but I remember my Grandparents beach house very vividly. They bought it, and completely remodeled it. Pop had done everything himself. He had finished the house, and now he was working on the dock. I was going to come and spend the week with them that year for spring break. But that didn’t happen that year, or ever again.
I remember the phone call. There had been an accident. My mom was screaming in the middle of the bedroom, and dad told me to take my little sister outside. I knew that something really bad had happened. We were all packing, but then another call came…the kind of call that you never want to hear.
My Pop that seemed invincible, the one that made me bookshelves, tree houses, and took me camping wasn’t going to be around any longer. I understood, since I was the oldest, but none of the other children did. They had their Pop taken early. He was never going to win a 3-legged race with my little brother, who was only 6 months when he died, or my 2 cousins who weren’t even here yet. He was never going to meet my husband or my future children.
I spent almost that entire summer with my Grandma. It was going to be their 50th wedding anniversary. My Pop was taken from us so early. I remember her crying in the bathroom when we went on vacation every night, and when we would go to sleep. I even searched for my baby blanket and pillows and started sleeping with them again. I know that everything happens for a reason, although to this day I will never understand what the reason behind my Pop’s early departure from earth is. I still think of him and the lessons that I learned from him while he was here, and that is something that I will carry with me always.
