Hey every1. Sorry it's been awhile since I posted last. Let me update you on what has been going on with me.

Sunday the 24th I was hanging out with Nathan and Isaac before I went swing dancing with Mike. I was at my house when my Mom called. She wanted to talk to Nate before she talked to me so I knew something was wrong. When I got back on the phone I asked what was wrong and who died. She simply said "Grandpa Petersen". I started crying so hard I hung up the phone and sort of tossed it on the floor. Thankfully Nate was there holding me telling me that I was going to be ok. I then left the living room and ran upstairs and cried until Nate came up after me. To see if I was going to be ok. I eventually called my Mom back to asked what happened and when and what time the Funeral was. She told me he had passed Saturday Night and the visitation was set for Tuesday Night and the Burial was set for Wednesday Morning. So I spent the next few hours crying. Then I picked up Mike becuase it is best for me not to sit at home alone so we went dancing which was fun, however I would have had so much more fun with different curcumstances. (sp?) Anyway I desided I wanted to leave so I brought him home then went and picked up Isaac then we went over to Jons. Jon was so sweet to me. He held me while I cried somemore then I feel asleep in the chair I was sitting in cuase I was so tried from crying so much. Then we ended up staying there that night. Then I got up the next moring and brought Isaac home. Then I went home to get ready for work. I went home and cried somemore while I was getting ready for work. Then I went to work and told my boss that I wasn't coming in to work for the next couple of days for obvious reasons. They let me leave early. Then I went home and told Kristin that I wouldn't be at the apartment for the next few days then I told her what happened. She was there for me too. Then I went to sleep and got up the next day and drove home to go to my Grandpa's visitation. Let me tell you, I really miss him, he didn't even look the same. My Grandma wouldn't let me go when I gave her a hug. She just started sobbing. It broke my heart. Then I went to eat with my Mom, Sister, Niece and Nefew that was fun. Then was the Burial that sucked even more. My face is still swollen from crying so much. I still sit and cry. Then I had to work today but I only went in for 1.5 hours. Tomorrow I am getting my little Niece and we are spending Aunt-Niece time together for the weekend.


I love you Grandpa, I'll see you when I get to heaven. I miss you.
Love always,
Erin------Red
