My Passion
When I started trying to write this I could not think of anything but my one true passion meaning something or someone I can’t live without, which would be my grandpa. My Grandpa has been in my life since I was born, not once has he let me down in anyway. He has always been there for me but his life has come to a peaceful end. Saturday, October 17th, 2009 my grandpa passed away RIP. But my grandpa was like my dad he practically raised me taught me how to cook, encouraged me to do things in life. I won’t ever forget how we use to bug each other just to make each other so mad but it was ok it was all in fun. Not once did I ever think of him passing away I figured he would live till I graduated and watch me take off on my own journey just like he did when he was growing up. I lived with my grandpa and my grandma quite a bit and they never let me miss out on things in life. When I was little my mom left because of her illness, and my grandpa and grandma were right there to help me through everything. I would cry late at night and my grandpa would be right there with a bowl of ice-cream. My grandpa use to be the umpire at my baseball games when I was little he would always be there to support me and my team. My Grandpa and I have always been close we use to be so disgusting. We would have farting wars at the dinner table but some called that “rude” but my grandpa and I we thought it was fun it was “the way of life”, “if u got gas let it loose or you’ll get a sore stomach.”
My Grandpa is everything to me I did not ever want him to pass away, he was my dad he tucked me at times, taught me things in life, helped me through everything. Now that he is gone I am not quite sure how I will get through life without him. My grandpa is one person I will never forget, he will always be in my heart. My grandpa will stay and always remain in my heart till the day I die. When I make decisions in life I will think about if that is what he wanted me to do.
There are so many things I wanted to say to him before he died but I just didn’t get the chance, I did not get the chance to even say bye, But my grandpa knows that I love him and always will, and I will miss him. I will always have my good memories of him in my head. My grandpa will stay and remain alive in my heart no matter what, and I know as along as he is in my heart he will be everywhere I go, with every step I take in life he will be right there in my heart, and that is what is going to keep me going in life. He will watch over me till the day I die, and at times it will be hard but I will remember he is just above me watching and he will try and guide me as much as he can up in heaven. I love my grandpa Fred Evdokimoff he is my passion I shall live for, and I will never forget him in my heart he will remain till the day my new journey begins starting with the pearly gates on to an after life with him.
