Grandpa I miss you...

This morning as we were eating breakfast, we listened to the radio and heard Grandpa's obituary. I wanted to cry. Its so strange to be up here and not have Grandpa here to visit with. I miss hearing his voice and his sweet kind words to everyone. Its so weird to walk into his house, his room, and think that it was the last place he was.

My aunt found him on the floor of his bedroom yesterday morning. She couldn't wake him up and didn't know what was going on. She decided to call my dad, who went over and knew right when he looked at him that he was gone. My dad said that when he saw him, it looked like he had a smile on his face. I have been thinking all night at how excited he was to finally be with his sweetheart again. I wondered what they were doing in heaven, are they dancing, singing, watching over future great grand children. Was he relaxing or was he farming like he always has.

It is so nice to have all the family together, I wish it wasn't because of the situation, but sometimes that's the way it happens. The funeral will be on Monday. I am going to say the closing prayer. I thought about talking, but wouldn't quite know what to say. We will see if I decide to do something different.

This is a picture my dad took last week when Ashlynn was here. She and my Grandpa were playing Legos. Im so glad that things happened the way that they did so she was able to have that time to spend with Grandpa. He really enjoyed spedning time with Grandkids and Great Grandkids. Im just glad we have this picture with him and Ashlynn before he died. He will be missed. :(

Here is the obituary that I found on the mortuaries website this morning...
