  • Jessie:

    Grandparents are sooooo important in our lives. I never knew my dad's parents and rarely got to see my mom's. But I loved the fact of big families.

    Dad had lots of shirts when he died. Last year, Mom told everyone to pick a few out to have. I took several and ended up having a lap quilt made for Mom with some of them and now we are having Christmas stockings made with parts of the other shirts. He loved Christmas so and everytime we see that stocking we will remember how excited he got on Christmas.

    One great=granchild was born just two days after Dad passed away. My niece Andrea had a dream that Zane and Dad met each other as he was leaving this world and Zane was coming to ours.

    Such love and memories make us wealthy in a lasting sort of way.

  • Another nice family story! I had forgotten about you being in labor. I remember going over to Granddad's house to invite him to pizza with me, mom, Casey (who was 1 yr old) and Anneke that night. He said no, that he had already eaten. He passed during the hour or so that we were gone. When we got back to the house, mom noticed the lights were off in granddad's house across the street and it was getting pretty dark. She went over to check on him while I went in their house with the kids. Poor mom was alone when she found him in his recliner. Granddad's goal was to stick around long enough to take care of Grandma. When she passed, just weeks before he did, he was ready to go. They were awesome grandparents and we have an awesome family.

  • I didn't get the opportunity to know my grandparents but my children had wonderful grandparents in their Dad's parents. Your story reminds me how happy their Grandpa was to have a new grandchild to spoil. He had given up hope of having another grandchild around; it had been 14 years since the youngest had been born. We lived across the street from my in-laws which, at times, seemed too close, but I always knew that my children had the BEST Grandparents!
