And here I am, 33 years old...and I still have all four of my grandparents. I was lucky to grow up just a few miles from each of them, and the hardest thing about living away from where I grew up is that I really miss them. They are all incredible people whom I admire and love so much. The thought of losing any of them is more than I can bear.
My Papa Wayne (my dad's dad. He's 86) was admitted to the hospital yesterday and is not doing well. Emilia and I are flying to Idaho first thing tomorrow morning.
Things are going to be quiet around here again.

I am so sorry. I am sure seeing you and Emilia will comfort him.
Prayers for your fam. I was also blessed - my great-great grandma passed away when I was 5 & I have alot of memories playing army men with her. My oldest dd was lucky enough to meet 2 of my great-grandmas. I still have 1 grandpa & 2 grandmas living unassisted.
oh, no... we'll be praying for you and your family! :(
Mom told me about your grandpa. I will say a prayer for him and for your grandma. They are indeed both lovely people and have always been so proud of you and what you've done. I am sure that the sight of Emilia and you will be a blessing to them both. And what a great photo of your grandpa and the dog.
i was choked up reading this, as i thought of all of the years i have been without any grandparents. your love is so apparent, and how beautiful that is- what a blessing. i am so glad you are on your way to him. what a comfort it will be for him to see you and his great granddaughter. many prayers for him and for you as you make your journey there. may your time with him bring you all much joy.
