Today is a special day. We said goodbye to one of the worst examples of an American and said hello to someone who is leagues more competent to run the White House. But today also marks an even more important day for myself and my family. Today marked four years since my grandfather passed away. • It’s weird how I completely tuned out the fact that he left the same day as 45’s first day. There’s room for some humor like oh, he knew he didn’t wanna stick around for the horror show, etc. But I also think I really didn’t want to connect the two together in my memory. • The universe is really annoying sometimes when it sends you moments in life that make you think a little too much about someone you’ve lost. For example, today on my way back from dropping my mom off somewhere, I ended up passing a funeral procession. In the past, I would have thought, “Oh, you don’t see that every day.” But during this pandemic, you can’t help but think of the million lives lost, and the 400,000+ Americans included. • I cried on the way home. I saw the American flag laid on top of the casket. It reminded me of Grandpa Griswold from this summer. It reminded me of what today meant. It reminded me that too many families have felt this pain this year. Friends who lost parents. Coworkers that lost grandparents. A best friend’s lost baby. It reminded me that this grief never really leaves you, it just holds you tighter. • I hate that it needs to be said, but please wear your masks, stay home, or at least stay away from large group gatherings. It was supposed to be getting better now not worse like it is. Please spare your loved ones the kind of pain that comes with losing someone you love. Do it for your family, your friends, do it for those that love the ones around you. • Today I thought about my grandpa. How I’m so grateful for the moments I got to sit with him. I thought about my grandma, how I’m grateful that she is doing well in spite of these times. I’m grateful for my friends and family’s health. I miss you 할아버지 and I’m grateful for the last moment I got to sit next to you, holding your hand. ❤️ [11:29pm 01.20.2021] (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKS5qOCl1Xu/?igshid=guwqaqwffl3r -- source link
