Description I had started this for my grandpa, because he'd asked for a drawing of mine while he was in the hospital. I'd drawn a quickie doodle for him, but I wanted to do something better for him.

but before I could finish, he died on tuesday around 7:00, to a heart attack just after being transferred to the rehabilitation hospital the night before.
Just before he died, I had been thinking of calling him again- I had called him just before he was transferred.
But before I could, my mom got the call from his wife..

I needed to finish it.. For my own sake.

So there you guys go.

For my grandfather.

I will be gone again from monday to (probably) saturday, for his memorial and funeral. If you need me, text me.
Otherwise, I will probably just talk to you when I get home.
Going to be spending the weekend with several good friends who are awesome enough to take a road trip down here for me. Love you guys.

This picture honestly... Portrays... Emotion. Its the girls eyes... They look so sad.

Your grandfather would surely be proud to own this art, I know I would be.

I can only assume so... The only thing that I've lost family wise, have been animals, so sadly... I can only relate to a certain degree.

Losing animals is still hard. They're still family

Yes, but... It's not quite the same as losing a grandfather... D:

I still have the ashes for both my dogs who passed away...

May the wind take his ashes far, so that even in the afterlife, he can still see the world.

Thank you

My art pales next to his. He was an incredible artist. He could recreate photographs with charcoal and you wouldnt be able to tell the difference.
