What We Want You to Know
Students. Faith + Swagger. We're just a group of students trying to figure it all out.
I look forward to seeing my grandpa in heaven. He was a great man and he loved the Lord. He was a carpenter and he loved racing. We were at the race track almost every Saturday. He also liked fishing. He died when he was 73 and when he died the grandfather clock stopped working.
My grandpa had big glasses and was bald with a mustache and sometimes he would grow out his beard near Christmas to play Santa. He liked to wear either a hat or bandana. My grandpa and grandma had six kids. When they were young they went to church he was involved in it. When his kids were grown he started to have financial and health problems and drifted away from the Lord. He quit going to church. He knew he was gonna die so he moved his truck and told us he didn't want his stuff to be a burden on us. The Sunday before he died he wanted to go to church and make things right with the Lord. That Wednesday he died and at his funeral they put a checked flag on his casket because he liked racing. My mom said that she believed the flag meant he finished the race because he came back to the Lord. In heaven I would want to go fishing with my grandpa or go racing. There is not pain in heaven, so I would want to go all out, knowing we wouldn't get hurt. I know my grandpa will be in heaven.

Someone I would love to see in heaven is my Papa. I love and miss him. He was a great man. He always knew how to put a smile on your face. I've never seen him not smiling unless NC State was losing.
His death was so unexpected. He was only 57 when he died. He didn't suffer. One day he was working and he had to move some granite with a crane. The granite was 500 lbs. and the wire snapped and the piece of granite fell on top of him. They said he was killed instantly and didn't suffer. The impact was so great his glasses blew 15 feet from him. It's been almost two years since he died. I still cry and miss him very much. The good thing is that I will see him again because he had gotten saved. He was saved in church as a teenager. He did go to church sometimes, but not all the time. He did love the Lord and liked doing family prayer. He enjoyed going to NC State football games and riding dirt bikes. What is most important to me is I got to have great memories with him. My favorite one is when I was five I got to go to his house and stay the night and we would stay up, eat candy and watch movies in the living room. On Christmas five years ago he pulled me into the kitchen and gave me a little box and inside was a heart shaped locket. The best thing is to have these memories forever. When I get to heaven the first thing I'm gonna say is, "Thank you and I love you." I get to spend eternity with him in heaven. I miss him so much because it feels like a piece of me is gone. |
