April was a month of grief and sadness for my family. My Uncle Gary went home to be with God. He suffered with Leukemia & Liver Cancer for the last 3 years....caused by Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam. The last few months he suffered quietly and bravely. My Auntie got to the hospital just seconds after he passed...she fussed over him like a wife should...brushing his forehead with her hand, folding his hands over each other and kissing him lightly to say goodbye. After a few minutes...she says he had the sweetest smile on his face...he was at peace. He was a Navy man...and very proud.
The service was wonderful, emotional and memorable.
The day of the funeral...in the evening after the service...my gram fell at home. She hit her head and came to spend the night with my parents. She ended up staying there for a month. She had a little confusion before that...now its worse. She's moved in at my nieces Assisted Living Facility...I hope she settles in and that everything works out for her. She can't be alone any longer. Makes me sad...
Here's my little Gram with my granddaughter Kaitlin
