• There he was, lying there lifelessly but wore a smile on his face.
    Cyrus Cleon Lipe Was my bestfriend and my grandpa.
    I close my eyes as my tears slowly fall down my cheeks, as my eyes are closed
    I can't help but replay my dad telling my sister and I about grandpa's passing.
    March 8, 2008 was the worst day of my life.
    In the funeral home in a small room was a teal casket. I walked in the room towards the lifeless body and stood right infront of it. My heart dropped and shattered in the pit of my stomach,my tears came fast and dropped onto the carpet.
    I felt lifeless and weak until i saw my grandma Elaine. I looked into her eyes and saw sadness,weakness,and lonleness. With tears sliding down my face i walked to my dad and weeped for what felt like forever.
    Deep down in my shattered heart I knew my grandma felt even worse then i did. Cyrus and Elaine have been married for seventy years. It's amazing how love so pure can last a lifetime. What broke my heart even more was when i heard my grandma cry out to my dad what she would do without my grandpa.
    That was the most heartbreaking day of my life and I never want to relive it again.
