Our wonderful Papa passed away this past Sunday. He was 87 years old. We have a lot of good memories with him, and we will miss him dearly! I don't think our kids really realize that he's gone yet. The family parties will be so different, but we know that he is in a better place and feeling A LOT better. He's just waiting for us to join him! The kids are still keeping him in their prayers. Tonight Sydnee said, "please bless that Papa will have a good day in Heaven." It was one of the sweetest things I've ever heard! Lexie has his namesake-Shelby- as her middle name. He always called her Baby Shelby, and I love that. Sydnee and Papa's birthdays are a day apart, so we always got to celebrate both at the same time- that I will miss. Rest assured, Papa, I will eat some cake for you! I went to see him and drop off some flowers a week ago today. He was in the acute care hospital, and didn't look well at all. I just had a feeling that it might be the last time I saw him. I talked to him for a bit, but he was very sleepy and having a hard time speaking. I turned to go, but before I did, I turned around and said- "HEY!" he said- "hey!" I said-"I love you, Papa." he said- " I love you too, girl." And that's the last thing he ever said to me. I'm so glad I got to say goodbye- and I know he's waiting in heaven for his beautiful Luna and us to reunite with him. It just hurts a bit for now.

Sorry to hear about your Gpa. My Gpa also passed away recently. Glad you got to say goodbye - I didn't have that chance. Isn't it nice to have the Gospel though and to know how much happier he must be now? May you all feel peace and comfort. :)
