15 weeks and full of sadness...

I figure I should try and make my weekly post before heading to NJ to be with my family. Unfortunately, my wonderful grandpa passed away early this morning after a 7 year battle with Alzheimer's. I have to admit it has been incredibly hard watching him slip away, but the last year has been the worse. It all went downhill once he went into a nursing home this past summer. I try to think more about the grandpa I knew, instead of the one that was in the nursing home. He was a wonderful man who loved Star Trek (oh the many episodes I had to watch cause there was only one tv), fishing, bowling, his bristly mustache, and how he always put on his socks and shoes when he got out of bed (I never ever saw him with bare feet!). I have been trying to think of names that begin with L (his name was Lionel) to use to honor him, but once we find out the genders we'll find an L name that we like for a middle name. This is my second grandparent that I have lost and I can only hope that I can share all the funny stories about them to Abby and our next two children. I know they will continue to live through all my great memories.
