aribToday was a bit of a rough day for me.
Nothing bad happened really, but I was in a low mood most of the afternoon. I was getting down on myself over the way things have been going the past few months, with a long trip through "you suck at maintaining relationships-ville."
Which is odd, since, despite everything I've gone through, my mood's been pretty good.
Then it kicked in.
My grandpa's yahrtzeit (the anniversary of his death) starts tonight.
I still miss him. He was a quiet, patient, gentle man with a capacity to love people that was so great, it still amazes me when I think about it. I'd like to think that that I've gotten some of my better personality traits from him. I'm still sorry I never got a chance to record his war stories, and that he never got around to telling off grandma just once, (he had the patience of a saint...) I wear his old WWII dogtags most of the time, and I'm definitely gonna have them with me tomorrow.
I miss you Papa.
