No one has probably even noticed, but I have not blogged for almost 2 weeks. I had been spending every spare minute I had at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Over those 2 weeks, I sadly watched my dear Grandpa progressively become worse until on February 11th at 10:30am, the Lord called him home. It's strange because for the week that he was confined to a hospital bed, I stood at his bed and silently prayed that he would not have to suffer. When his suffering ended, I prayed for selfish reasons, that there was some way I could bring him back. Losing him was just too painful.
As much as I miss him and will continue to miss him, I think one of the hardest parts of this is watching grandma. The thought of her being without him is almost unbearable to me. They were married for 63 wonderful years and did everything together. Two peas in pod!
Please keep grandma and our family in your prayers as we adjust to life without this very special man.

Christy,
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of you and Gene. I know how hard it is for you losing AW and now seeing how hard it is for your Grandma. You are lucky to still have your Mom and Dad. I only have Dad now and when Mom passed away it was the hardest thing I ever had to deal with until Cleo died.
Just remember how much you loved him and keep on loving....when we lose someone or something we love so dearly, it makes us realize how important love is in our lives. Spend time with those you love and it eases the pain. Those good memories will sustain you. I am praying for you.
I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers to you all.
