I buried my grandma last weekend. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family, bro.

Thx big bro, I appreciate it. Same to you and yours. I hope it brought family together u haven't seen awhile like it did for me. Stay strong, we carry the torch!

Yeah...
My grandma was a matriarch in every sense. The only grandparent a lot of us ever knew.

Lots of family came from all over... I have tons of family in SoCal and the bay, as well as some in Canada (one cousin in the navy flew in from Japan).

Definitely felt the difference. Probably the first time a lot of my family recognized me as a grown man...

Wow, I heard that! My grandma was too. My grandpa and her were like a unit/pair/piece..it was hard seeing them apart when she passed in 06.She didnt want a funeral of any sort though. My grandpa was the opposite, wanted a US Marines salute!

My Dad didn't want a funeral either.

Super dope illustration! TO THE ANCESTORS! Try setting up an altar for them if you haven't already, white table cloth, water, rum, coffee, maybe bright flowers. Feel it out brother.
