My grandfather was admitted to the hospital a week and a half ago with congestive heart failure. The reports were actually pretty good and they were working to get his heart rate and blood pressure under control with plans to have him go back to his FOSS home. Unfortunately on Sunday morning he took a turn for the worse with liver and kidney failure. The whole family got chances to make it and say good-bye before he passed away very peacefully on Tuesday afternoon. We will miss you grandpa!
Enjoying a family BBQ and reunion this last summer
Here is a picture of the whole family taken before my grandma passed away three years ago. He never really wanted to have to live without her.
Meeting Jaydon for the first time.
A bad photo of four generations, probably the only photo from my side of the family that has four generations in it.
Taking Grandpa to a Thai restaurant to celebrate some event - he loved Thai food and we loved getting to go enjoy it with him.
Celebrating Thanksgiving in 2010. A funny story, he never waited for anyone to eat. When he was dished he was ready and he would eat.
Celebrating his last Christmas. He loved being around Jaydon and watching him. I was very glad we were able to take Jaydon down for a last visit on Sunday and say our good-byes, it was very hard for Jaydon to see Grandpa in the hospital but it was really good for Grandpa to see us all and he lit up seeing Jaydon.
