I was going to write you a long blog about my Monday holiday yesterday but got side tracked by Japanese homework that kind of took preference at that time.
Basically I got my drivers license and Li and I made 13 liters of plum wine spending only 60$ on all the ingredients. Cant drink it until next year but I will never have to buy any next year either.

But everything I had to tell you has all been side tracked by a telephone call from my dad this morning.

My Grandpa Oskar died.

I am sad but not in the same way I was when Alisha died. This is different.
I guess more than anything I am so glad that everyone got to be there and say good bye. I am happier about the fact that he lived to be 90. Or is it 91? Either way a very full life.
Dad said he died peaceful and that makes me feel better.
I wont be able to go to the funeral. This mades me feel very depressed. His was a funeral I never thought I would miss.
I just cant afford it right now, especially with Li`s job headaches going on. I will visit him when I head out there later this year.
I need to phone grandma this week. I think I will wake up extra early tomorrow and call her. I really want to talk to her.
I am feeling home sick right now.

Grandpa was one of the people I would put on my list of people-I-am-proud-to-know and the list of people-I-look-up-to.

Bye Grandpa. I love you!
