This is my grandpa, he passed away this morning. It's amazing how fast time flies when you're having fun! My grandpa was amazing. I have so many fun memories of him that I will never forget. He was the healthiest 74 year old I knew. He was losing his memory fast and finally agreed to get checked out. They found out he had a brain tumor and would need to have surgery soon. He went in for surgery and the news got worse. The tumor was more serious than we thought. He then had a stroke and lost movement in all of his right side.
We knew what he had wanted so the decision was made to let him go. I know it seems so simple but I'm sure it was the hardest decision for those who had to make it. This is what my grandpa wanted and now he's off to a much more peaceful place reuniting with those he loved! It's amazing what the gospel teaches us. Families can be together! It's so comforting knowing that and even though it's hard to say good-bye it's easier knowing that we will see him again. I love you grandpa!
