My Sweet Grandpa
We lost my sweet Grandpa on December 17th this year. He had been having a lot of back problems, and had to go in for major back surgery. Otherwise, he was in excellent health and an avid exerciser. The day after his surgery, a nurse got him out of bed without his brace on and left him unattended. As a result, he fell, which caused a brain clot to form. He never gained consciousness again. Th family was quite upset about the whole ordeal, but most of all, we just miss him. It didn't seem like it was his time to go yet.
My grandpa was a wonderful example of how a husband, father, grandpfather, priesthood leader, boss, and employee should be. He has always been a spiritual giant in my life. When I didn't know where to turn for a blessing, or some good advice, grandpa always had it. He was such a hard worker and truely dedicated to everything he did. He served many hours in the temple as a temple worker, and was in the Bishopric of several single LDS wards. He held a special place in his heart for young single adults. He gave so much to his family, and he will surely be missed by all of us! We love you grandpa!!!
Hannah's birthday is on Sunday the 17 th of Jan, but we had her party today. It was really fun and she got a lot of presents. My friend Martha made Hannah's awesome Cinderella cake. Last year she made her Aurora. The year before that, we had a Belle cake. Even though we had Cinderella this year, Hannah Montana was in the mix too. I have a feeling this might be the last Princess party we have for Hannah.....but who knows? She could surprise us next year. Anyway, thanks for the all of the presents everyone, and Martha for the awesome cake!
