great grandpa









a lot of people in the family know that we just lost our grandpa (well my great grandpa they live in oaklahoma). at the viewing it had to be the most saddest day of my life you know how you get really emotional when your walking up to see the person you lost? well when i was right about to start crying i looked up at my dad and he had tears running down his face and his lip was trembling, i have never seen my dad cry before so thats where i started crying when we got to the casket my dad was still trying to hold back the tears and my grandma plane well i wont give you all the details but i dont think i've EVER seen a person that horribly sad before i wanted to go and hug her so bad but i couldnt move a muscle. And great grandma was so quiet it wasnt like she wasnt sad just at the look at her she was the worst but she was the one making the least amount of noise. we stayed there for i think about half and hour then left to get something to eat and then go back because when we went back that was when the other people the friends were going to see him. when we went back the family tried to put on smiles but they were very fake i think my grandma plane was about to break down again, but she held together. well when the funeral was over we went to the elderly center to eat (man the food was so good!) great grandma sat with me and my dad at a table one second i looked at her and i thougtht ' she must have a lot of memories here with great grandpa' and i looked at her again and her face was in her napkin and she was shaking. so my dad helped her and everything it was really bad. when i was there i got to meet the other half of my family that was the only good part. great grandpa was a workd war two vet. his job was to take the pictures he was one of the people that took pictures of the dead people in the holocaust can you picture your self looking at that kind of terrrible things he kept some of the pictures but a long time ago great grandma hid them because he would look at them and cry, when we were there we found the pictures. they are maybe ten times worse then the pictures are shown i can't even describe them.
