A Eulogy For My Grandfather.

  For those of you who don't know me, my name is ____________ and I want to say a few words in memory of my Grandfather.

  My grandfather lived an exciting and remarkable life, one that inspired me greatly. His adventurous nature and broad range of interests made him an amazing person to know who always had tales to tell.

  One day he would tell me how he'd missed his final board exam because he'd had a football match and the next he'd be showing me historical artifacts and places he'd help uncover and show to the world.

  He was generous and patient with his time and affection. He always took an interest in the people he met and it was very rare that he would not engage any person that he met any where at any time.

  My grandfather pursued his many endeavours diligently and with honesty and he expected the same of us too. He was philosophical in his approach to life. Never displaying anger or impatience instead facing everything with a great dignity. Never stopping in the face of failure. He used to say to fail is not a crime but to give up when you fail is one of the greatest.

  I will miss his tales of his adventures in faraway places, his perspective, his humour and his encouragement. I'll miss the surprising depth and scope of his knowledge.

  I will miss one of the greatest men I will ever have the fortune to meet, my grandfather, may his soul rest in peace.

Err..

You know that feeling when you just want to stay away from everyone and lock yourself up in your room? Where all you do is either read or listen to some music..You feel weird, upset in a way but you have no idea why, coz everything in your life is perfectly fine, so you're still wondering where all these sad vibes are coming from..

Then when you sit and think about it, you realize how much your life has actually changed.. Nothing drastic but the little things have changed.. I remember when i actually had lots of things to do, my friends and I used to be talking all day about weird things, my mom was surprised at how we could be talking ALL day after spending like half the day together, she'd be like "don't you guys get sick of each other?" i'd just laugh it off of course.. I miss em.. My old friends, from school.. We're all in different places now.. Haven't met since idk when.. I do have more friends now but they're just not the same as the ones I grew up with.. But that's just how life is, people come and go, and there's nothing we can do about it..

Back then I hated reading, thought it was boring.. Just looking at those books made me sleepy.. Heck! It took me 3 months to finish reading one tiny goosebumps book.. I'd doze off after reading half a paragraph and now its like the opposite, I'm reading ALL THE TIME! I used to be so annoyed when my sister would read n I'd just sit next to her talking n talking but she'd be so engrossed in the book she hardly even blinked, I see myself becoming like that now..

I'm not saying its a bad thing but I miss the old times, somehow they were happier.. Stupid, small things made me happy.. The happiness lasted longer too.. Now, things do make me happy but it just wears off, you know.. Sigh-

I know I'm rambling, I feel emo today.. Been a few days actually.. This post is so confusing, I don't think ima put it up, its 4/12/11 9:20 pm right now.. Lets see when I actually post this..
