tis life...and not a part that is very joyous. my grandaddy is dying. its a weird feeling knowing that someone you love will die in a few days. as my dad says, we're in a holding pattern. dad hasn't been to work in two weeks. he's been spending time at the hospital and now the veteran's home (grandaddy's nursing home) with my grandmother and aunt

oh hon,
I'm so sorry. My family in texas went through something like that last year with my granddaddy, but I felt so removed from it up here in NH. I'm thinking of your family.

Is this the grandfather who brought us watermelon one time? Yellow watermelon, or something like that? That's still a memory that I love to look back on... When my grandfather passed away in 2001, we went through the same waiting period. Just try to reflect on all of the wonderful things he did and the wonderful memories that he created. He did so many things that so many people will always remember, even if it was just bringing watermelon from Alabama for hungry little kids. Chin up, Juanita. It is hard, but I know you will be okay. If you need anything, just call.

thanks nate! it had to've been him....the memory that plays over and over in my head is one of me sitting on the patio at their house watching him peel an apple without breaking the peel! i always thought that was so cool! maybe someday i can do that...i've never even tried.
