Yesterday, my mum called me to let me know my Poppy,my grandfather at nearly 90, passed away in his sleep. I'm still wrapping my brain around him being gone...he was so important to me. He was my inspiration growing up. Not to mention he was stunning with a camera..(I guess that's where I get my passion for photography and the arts)

I'm taking on badge commissions to help pay for a plane ticket home. I do not know when the funeral is at this time. I just know that even with me starting up school and working out here in michigan, I CAN NOT miss his funeral. He impacted my life more than anyone in my life has. I'm in tears as I'm writing this.

Even if you can't afford something, please spread the word.

Please spread the word. I haven't gotten any commissions as of yet and I'm really afraid I'm going to miss the funeral of my grandfather. This is really hard for me because I moved 2k+ miles for schooling by the pushing and mutual support of my family. My grandfather was a magician with a camera. He saw beauty in something before anyone else. He was a strong, gentle soul who was a doctor during world war 2.
When I lost my grandmother right before my brother was married, it was hard. Loosing my grandfather is tearing me apart and I'm breaking down randomly.

It may be selfish of me, by I need to give a proper good bye, I need to be there for his funeral. I'm trying to keep a sound mind while I am typing this, but is just can't. I'm breaking down with every word I type about him. Please, every little bit helps. I want to be selfish right now. I want to be able to attend his funeral. I want to be able to see the photos from his life with my mother...
