My Grandfather

On Monday evening, May 15, 2006, my grandfather passed away.

The above picture was taken when CootieGirl was an infant – it’s one of my favorite pictures of the two of them together. Sadly, when consulting the arsenal of CootieBoy photos in my immediate vicinity, I couldn’t find one of CootieBoy – I’ll have Denis look for one.

The above picture was taken at my sister’s wedding in December. See how vibrant and joyous he was celebrating her marriage. That’s his wife Virginia at his side, a sweet wonderful woman that was the perfect choice to spend the rest of his days with after my grandmother died.

He will be sorely missed as the Patriarch and Commanding General of our entire family.

    Beautiful tribute to a fine man. His delight at Jen’s wedding is apparent, and the picture of him with CootieGirl is too charming. /sniffle

    Prayers for your family.

My Grandfather

Well, I got word a couple hours ago that my grandfather has been admitted to the hospital again for congestive heart failure. My mom didn’t have any other details other than that fact. So we’re all kind of on high alert again waiting to see what happens. He had been doing well – the hospital had sent him home a couple weeks ago because he kept getting better after my visit with him. But this morning he had a relapse.
