Romus Glosson II

My paternal grandfather, Romus Glosson II, passed away on Sunday, August 10, 2025, at the age of 94 in Houston. My relationship with him was distant, with only a few meetings due to the difficult relationship between my father and grandfather. The first memory of seeing him was at my paternal grandmother's funeral in 2001. Subsequently, a surprise phone call was received from him congratulating me for my high school graduation in 2012, with another meeting at a Glosson family reunion in 2022, and seeing him at a couple more holiday parties over the past couple of years at one of my aunts’ homes.

The last year and a half has been tumultuous, with a hospital stay due to a burst appendix and sepsis, a first cousin passing away, a second cousin, an uncle, and two uncles-in-law. The passing leaves me without any living grandparents, which is very painful. It is difficult not only because of their loss, but also because a part of me is physically gone forever. The situation also brings to mind the limited time available to spend with my parents. With the grandparents gone, it feels like my parents' time is approaching sooner.

Regardless, I hope that his time on earth was overall pleasant. Also, I hope that Romus Glosson II, my grandfather, rests in peace.
