Passing of a good man
Sorry I haven't posted about this before - but its been busy and stressful and I just haven't felt up to it until now.
Brophyswiftus' grandfather passed away on 3/27/08 around 8:30 pm. This man was a very good man. He always made me feel that I was one of HIS grandchildren. That I was just as special to him as my husband and sister in law were. We were no different. More than that, he was a happy man even when he was in pain and having many physical problems. His wife died four years ago and at the time, we all believed that Granddaddy would not live long past his wife. He surprised us all by living this long. He had some things to finish and settle and once they were, he decided it was time to be with his beloved wife!
God bless him and her, we miss you both.
The coolest thing about his death (doesn't that sound odd) and I think the thing that has helped us all is that he died on Grandmother's birthday. We all said that night that Grandmother was getting the best birthday present that night when he died. It made all of us smile a bittersweet smile and sigh.
