"Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy." ~ Eskimo Legend
This morning we got the sad news that Brad's Grandfather, Grandpa Norman passed away overnight. He was 88 and we are thankful that he got to meet ER, on visits during our drives between NM and MI. We are planning on making the ten hour or so drive to be at the visitation this week. We're sure Great Grandma Emma Jane will want her loved ones near.
We are all comforted by the thought that his son, Brad's father Phil, has greeted him in Heaven. So it is not good bye Grandpa Norman, but until we meet again. You will be missed and were loved very much.

So sorry to hear of your loss :( Hope your family is doing OK during this sad time!
ReplyDeleteDespite your very sad news, I can't help but smile to see the sweet expressions on Grandpa's face in these pictures. May you always have those memories to smile about!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you all during this time.
Sorry for you and your family in this bittersweet time. I think of Derek's grandpa's expression..."We'll see you when we see you." He has never explained it to me, but I expect part of it is that maybe he'll see us next time...in heaven.
ReplyDeleteoh, I'm so sorry, Katie! Everyone will be in our thoughts; travel safely.
