This is probably one of the hardest posts I have had to write. On Sunday April 30th at 1:00 P.M. my Grandpa and one of my best friends returned to Heaven. I wish so bad I could have been in Heaven to see the reunion when he got to see his wife, his son/best friend-Dave, his daughter-LuAnn, his mom (she died when he was 14 and he was really close to her) and many other relatives that have passed on.
He fought a hard battle. He tried to be independent as long as he could be. He never wanted to be burden on anyone. He had an angel (my mom) on this Earth watch over him. There are not many people that have such amazing family to care for them. My mom would call him at least twice a day and then take him to lunch every day. Not to mention help him with his laundry, refill prescriptions, take him grocery shopping, schedule and take him to many, many doctor's appointments, and SO MUCH MORE!! She is truly an angel and I know he appreciated her so much!!
I am so grateful for the past four years I have had to get to go with him to lunch a few times a week and enjoy his company. He always knew how to make me smile. He has always called me his heart-breaker and now I feel a small piece of my heart is broken without him. I am so grateful for the gospel and the knowledge I have to know that I will see him again one day. I couldn't have asked for a better grandpa and friend. He was one of a kind and that's what I LOVED about him!! Until we meet again, I LOVE YOU THOMAS!!
