Anniversaries

It's nice to celebrate successes in relationships. It's also nice, as in this case, to celebrate memories of people who have passed. It seems impossible that it has been four years since my grandpa passed away. He was a good man, but he was sick and in pain for much of his life as I remember it. His death, when it came, came as a blessing in disguise. But I will never forget the days spent in the hospital not knowing what was next or how our family came together to support my grandma through the decisions and the pain. With every bad comes good.

RIP Grandpa. We love you. I'm so grateful for the nearly 18 years I was able to spend with you.
