It means so much to me to be able to let this out here. I was able to talk a bit with my older sister and our cousins about my Grandpa, but there was so much going on, none of us were able to really sit down and unwind. The last time I got to see everyone was for Grandma's funeral.

It sucks only getting to see everyone after someone dies.

I still need an outlet.
