So as a follow up to the last post... my great-grandfather did get his last wish. He saw through his 91st birthday and it was wonderful for him. My mom called me last night at 10:33pm to say that earlier that evening he had passed away quietly. My one regret is that he will never get to see the wedding ophotos he wanted to see. A short while later ,my little brother called to make sure I was doing well. While I missed the call last night, I did talk to him this morning. It was nice to see how compassionate my brother can be at times.
My great-grandfather will be sorely missed by all. His funeral is on Wed. I dont think I will be going since it's in Florida. My mom & grandma asre oging. I dont know about the rest of the family.
As my brother so eloquently put it...
