Christmas 2006
I have been meaning to post this for awhile but each time I sat down to write, I started to cry. Thanks to your prayers, I am now feeling at peace with the situation... This past Sunday, my grandpa passed away at the age of 85. He was an amazing man and had such an admirable outlook on life. He will definitely be remembered by everyone with a smile on his face! One of my fondest memories of him was when he dressed up as Santa Claus each year for my dad's Christmas parties. After the party each night, I would tell my parents that Santa sounded like grandpa. Finally, one year my parents caved in and told me the truth! He lived a great life and I am glad that he is no longer suffering. Thank you all for your prayers!
My grandma was put in the hospital on Saturday with bad pneumonia so she was unable to be with him the day he died, but fortunately my family was there with him. She is out of the hospital and is still weak, but if anyone can overcome anything, it would be her. At the age of 88, she went parasailing this past year! She is also amazing and has the best attitude of anyone I know. Please also pray for her health. Here are some pictures below of when she went parasailing this past August:
