Oh so it always seems when i sit here in front of the computer I am at a loss as what to write about but in the midst of my crazy days I am overflowing with thoughts. I did want to take a minute and write about not one but two of the most remarkable grandfathers whom we lost very recently. My grandfather and someone I admired terribly passed away in December at the grand age of 81. He was a veteran and a gun collector and it was from him I most definitely inherited my strong will and stubbornness. I miss him terribly but am thrilled and so at peace with the fact that he is no longer in pain , stuck to his breathing machine or taking meds all day long it seems. And he died in his sleep which I am so grateful for ... what a way to go, he definitely deserved that. I am so blessed that he and Whitt had already created such a strong bond and he thought so highly of Whitt it makes me smile. Although she was tiny and it was only one or twice in her brand new little life he also met Dylan and we have those precious times in pictures! I love him to pieces and will cherish all of our visits and time we spent talking and especially all the time I spent listening to any wisdom he had to share.
Shortly after this Wades grandfather (who was just months shy of 90!) more commonly known as Teetaw started having complications with his hip and many more things from that first doctor visit .. his health declined very quickly and he went from a couple horribly long weeks at home to a short stay in the hospital until he was called home where he belongs.. and it was at that point that all who are close to him could only be relieved that he was feeling no pain.. he deserved none of that discomfort and all the other yucky stuff he went through. We are so fortunate that WHitt so loved his Teetaw and has many memories with him.. for this we are forever grateful. We love you grandpa and Teetaw, and you will never be forgotten.
