you always have that last memory. my last memory is beautiful.
it was melissa's birthday party at our house and we were all in the living room. Lilly was running around being the star of the show like she really is and she ran up to Grandpa who was sitting in our ugly yellow chair hunched over, resting because it was hard to breathe and in that state, you just want to rest. Lilly ran up to him and looked at him and smiled and waved. it was so amazing. Grandpa didn't notice and so she did it again a little closer. finally aunt Donna pointed out what she was doing to Grandpa and he sat up and opened his eyes and said,"oh, hello." he had a big smile on his face.
and that's the scenario that's been running through my mind all day. I'd like to think he died happy and in all honesty, I really do hope he made his peace with God.
Goodbye Grandpa
