Grandfather Passed on

Yeah he died, about the end of may. I believe it was the 31 that he passed on, his body just gave out on him, and yesterday we buried him. I was a Coffin Carrier, it was something I did not want to do, but I held back the tears and carried him along with my five cousins to his final resting place. It was nice to see the family all together and not fighting even though we had to meet in the worst possible way. It was also heart breaking to see my grandmother crying, with a mournful sound in her voice. I let tear drop down the sides of my face holding back the pain, I told myself if I had to carry the coffin I shouldnt cry, I didnt want to just break down there. Even after I knew he was gone till now the pain still is there, it was at the cemetary in griffith that he was laid to rest.

I know my cousin "lil' raw" was hurting more than anyone there, from the time he heard that our grandfather had pasted till the moment we put the coffin down for that last time he held in his sadness. It just came bursting out the moment the coffin could no longer be seen from where we had stood. It was raining that day, I thought to myself that the heavens themselfs cried for him and us. At least thats what I like to think that it was that way. Though after much thought on the subject I am glad that I got to lay him down, it was something odd about it. I mean yeah it will be the last time I see him but at least I know it was me with family that lead him to his rest.
