Granpa Gary

I hope you all aren’t melting the way I am right now. It’s been a hot summer.  Anyways, my mom and I had this great conversation about accountability. When I was young, my grandpa passed away and we don’t even know why. It was difficult because I feel like there was no closure for my mom. The doctor definitely could have done more but misdiagnosed him with anxiety. I think that is she had taken his concerns seriously, she might have found something,  but in the end she acknowledged her mistake and my mom forgave her. I know many other people would not have done the same and it still does not make what she did ok. But she learned and knows she can do better in the future for someone else. This is something everyone should do in life even if you’re not a doctor. It makes us into bigger and better people.
I miss grandpa very much but I am sure he is proud of us for learning these lessons in life to be a better person.

The end

What a wonderful story Luca. I believe forgiveness is key for us to process pain caused by others. Without learning to love even those who shave wronged us we can never truly be free. I’ve had my share of bad experiences dice I were a child. I’ve forgiven those that didn’t treat me right and have moved on to new adventures. Life is all about finding joy and learning that we are all in this together, we may bump into each other and so times create issues for others, but it the end of we all eland to forgive like you mom did…. well it will just be a life with less burdens. I am so sorry about your grandpa. I know that he’s in a better place, and that he loves you and misses you guys, but you’ll see him again.
I have a feeling you may already know this.
Take it easy brother ! And hey let’s go get tacos with chili sauce soon ok ? My treat !
