things change in the fall

Fall and Winter seem to always be a time of change. My grandfather passed away today. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few weeks ago. Although he has had it for a while. When we first begin to realize that he was ill with something serious, we took Hailey to see him. I'm thankful for that. He loved meeting her and we have wonderful pictures for her to remember him by. He was worried that she wouldn't remember him. Faith is a wonderful thing. He's at home with his wife now and is free of pain.

Since I hope to use this blog to remember life's moments, I'll leave my thoughts, for maybe someday Hailey will read and know what a great man he was.

Grandpa, I will always remember you with your hair sticking up in your tan pajamas on Christmas morning. You were the most positive and generous person, you raised my mother to be the same way. I aspire to be the same, you will be greatly missed. Say hi to Grandma, I can't wait to meet her.
