It's a sad Wed here

It's a sad Wed at our house.   About 6am the phone rang.   It was my mother in law saying grandpa passed away at 5 am.   We will miss him something terrible but we're also very much at peace with his passing.   He's in such a better place now and is back with grandma.  We both shed a few tears but it's just part of life.   We both will be off work for the rest of the week.   We did get to sit with him for most of the day yesterday.   It was so hard to see him like that.   He did however respond quite a bit to Sadie...she was singing to him and he sat up and looked at her and said yeah!   So sweet to see that he knew she was there.  She kept saying hi to him and telling him she loved him.  It's strange she seems like she maybe understands a bit of what was going on.  Not sure if she'll understand anything today when we tell her he's gone but that's ok.   She gave him lots of joy.  I have a dr appt at 9:40 and then I'm sure we'll be heading up to spend some time with family. 

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

Michelle, you & yours have my deepest sympathy.  I am glad you all got to enjoy the time with him this week.  It will be treasured memories for you.

Not too much going on here.  A little excitement in the neighborhood as the fire trucks & ambulances rolled in, until we discovered it was because a neighbor had passed.  Was interesting though as I went to introduce myself to the mother of a couple of the girlies friends, it ended up being someone I knew from the VA board (she hasn't been active in a couple of years) and we were finally meeting in person.  Tonight will be a quiet night at home.  I am looking forward to it.  Hope you all have a great one!
