The beginning of TEAM WATKINS. My grandparents have played a major role in my life. My grandmother was my 2nd mother and my grandfather was the only father figure I knew. This picture reminds me of the good times my grandparents had together. She still smiled when she saw him or sat with him. Before his dying day he always loved and trusted my grandmother. No matter what he did or she did there was nobody like Susan. My grandfather used to talk my ears off LOL, and at times I would be like cue the violin hahahah. But now I miss those long talks and him complaining about how people got on his nerves and most importantly his pet peeves. My grandfather was a strong person. Anything that he got into he was able to bounce back. During the month of his passing there was a sadness to him. My grandmother warned me in the hospital a week before he passed and I was like no grandpa is going to be alright. So I went home and started to plan a birthday dinner for him and my grandmother said, "You can plan the dinner but I don't know if he's gonna be here". I ignored her. Then we get the call that he's back in the hospital and it didn't look good. August 22, 2016 was the worst day of my life. No one ever wants that call. I know my grandfather heard my mom calling him. My grandfather's death has changed my perspective on life in so many ways. Time waits for no one and make sure all things are in order. Grandpa, I miss you and I love you.
