What It's Like to Not Know Your Grandpas
Godvine.com

When you think about your grandparents you automatically assume there's two of them. I had the privilege to have gotten to just know my grandmas on both sides. Unfortunately, that came to an end when I lost my Busha when I was only 5 years old. But fortunately, I still have my other grandma, Nana who means just as much as my Guardian Angels.

When I was growing up, I always asked about my grandpas because I wanted to know every single thing about them. Asking questions about them sparked my curiosity because they died suddenly. The most popular question I tend to ask is "wanting to know what they are like?" Another question I ask is why they had to leave so soon.

Finding old videos of my grandpas, a beautiful day in the sky and having dreams about them make me feel connected in some type of way for numerous reasons; one reason is because whenever I see them smiling in videos I can imagine they're smiling down on me in Heaven. Another reason I feel connected is I can just feel their presence around me as I look up into the sky. Having dreams have shown me the legend that they're trying to send me a message, give me advice or even a warning.

Whenever I hear stories about them back in the day it makes me want to know the details. The details I want to hear everything that happened, but I know someday down the road when I go off to Heaven they will tell me everything.

None of my siblings and I couldn't meet my dad's dad because he passed away early and my mom's dad passed away in '94 so my cousins and I never got the chance, my sister only knew him for a year. But with the stories my Nana and Aunt Ann tells us all the stories about him & makes us feel like we knew him in a way. My dad tells us everything about our other Grandpa and it's the best thing hearing them talk about them as if they never left us.

Whenever we visit my grandpa's graves I always give them updates about what has happened. Graduated high school, started college, I'm going to become a Special Education teacher.

Don't you two worry now, I have had the honor of my friends' Grandpas playing the role as you. But nobody can replace you.

I love you to the moon and back & I hope to see you soon

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
