I feel like it was yesterday that I wrote the post about my grandma's passing. Although there is great joy that they are reunited, I'm sad to have to write a similar post so quickly after.
My grandpa passed away two weeks ago, on August 12, just 4 1/2 months after my grandma. We were on vacation in California, but we had visited him only three days before. I am so thankful for that hour I spent with him. I introduced him to Max and then just sat by him, holding his hand. He looked very sick, and I knew he didn't have much time left. My grandpa tried to hold Max's squirmy hand, and Max gave my grandpa some of the biggest smiles I'd seen out of him.
I had a special bond with my grandpa and even though I know he is so much happier now, living with my grandma and free of all his ailments, I'll miss him very much.

| I was always his favorite (I think all the grandkids thought we were the favorite!). |

| My Grandpa baptized me when I was 8 years old. I remember being nervous that my feet would float up so he stepped on them. |

| Our family at the funeral. It was really nice to see them again, but I'd rather not have these unplanned family reunions anytime soon. |
