everything is changing..

my grandma died last august and it is the first death i can remember having to deal with. well every fourth of july of my life my dad has taken me down to this parade and then we would go get ice cream and later on that day we would go to this carnival and ride, rides and then watch fireworks but this year my friends dad took me and my friends down to the carnival and i didn't get any ice cream. my dad told me he would come down later to watch the fireworks with us though. it was only sprinkling out and my dad calls and says he is going to pick us up and that we weren't going back down for the fireworks so i was upset for the rest of the night. we ended up sitting on my neighbors roof to watch them but i was crying my eyes out because for one my dad knows how much it means to me to be down at the carnival watching them and for two, i'm really short so i could hardly even see them over the trees. i know the only reason why my dad didn't want to go down to the carnival was because my grandma isn't there anymore, and i know he is upset about it but i know she wouldn't want us to stop doing things we love jsut because she has past away.

my grandma passed away in May of this year. It is still hard to pass by her house sometimes, or do things without her that used to be family tradition. She was our queen bee and now a lot has crumbled a part. It can be hard at times.

But I think you should talk to your dad about your loss and carnival situation and see if your explanation of the story really is based on his sadness. If so, talk it out, vent with him, or if you feel un comfortable about a face-to-face, write a letter of how you feel and your carnival disappointment. If he doesn't speak up, or is at a loss for words, give him time, and/or ask him to have a note-passing heart 2 heart.

I'm sorry your 4th turned out to be no fun, but there's always next year. Hope things turn out better for you. God Bless!!

Awww.
That is really sad, and I am so sorry.
I remember when my last grandparent died...Ive never recovered from that, so I know it hurts.
Maybe you should try to talk to your dad about it, and maybe you guys can decide to do something out to make up for it.

um well you'll just have to tell him that she wouldn't want you guys to miss out on stuff because she's not there. you'll just have to remind him that its not like he'll never see her again and you can still have fun and keep the traditions going in her honor

I am sorry for your loss and I know how it feels to lose someone you are very close to because I had to try to cope with my grandmother's death when I was nine years old. It was very hard but I made it through and I know that she probably would want me to be happy and though I still think about her I know she is in a better place away froma all the pain and sorrows that this world brings.
