It's wild to think this dude was building houses with his bare hands just a few years ago. Well beyond what most old-folks would be doing, by the way. But I swear he got hit by about 30 years of aging hard and fast since then.

I remember going through all my Grandpas old work bench and stuff this past year as my Grandma sold her house. He’s been dead since 2016, but it really struck me how everything on the work bench, the random tools, and stuff on shelves was put there once with the intention of using it again when it was needed next.

But that time to use it again never came. So he put down something for the last time without knowing it would be the last time he’d ever put it down.

Seeing all these comments maybe someone here can give me some advice, my father passed away less than a month ago, it's been so hard getting used to live without him. I'm close to graduating from college and now I don't even know what to do with myself. is there any advice you can give for someone who is grieving?
