December 24, 5:45 am Chiang Mai, Thailand. December 23, 4:45 pm Auburn, Alabama. At this time on December 24 my mom called to tell me that my grandad had passed away. I had just waken up to hear that I would never get to talk to my grandad on earth again. I was heartbroken, I couldn’t find words to say, I was heartbroken because he died but also because I couldn’t be with my family. I knew he was in a better place, he didn’t have any pain, he was dancing with Jesus, he was with his Heavenly father, and honestly that’s all anyone should ever hope for. I was heartbroken that I couldn’t be there for my family, especially my dad. My dad is a very strong man, he loves the Lord A LOT, he cares so deeply for people, and he wants what’s best for everyone around him. He is so strong, but I know that he is heartbroken, so I am heartbroken. It’s really hard being here and not being able to hug my dad and love on him. But I know he is strong and he is going to make it through this. Wayne Chase, you were a great man, I am here to let you know that you are missed dearly and you were loved deeply, but We are so happy that you get to be with the King of this whole earth and we can’t wait to see you soon!
Love you to the moon,
Gracie
