My Grandpa died last Saturday early morning, a blessing from God to release him from a failing memory in his last years. We thank God for him and the legacy of love, hard work and faithfulness he leaves to our family! He was very special to us. I will always remember his fixing up the house, his train set, his stamp collection, his fireplace, and sharing meals together. Also the way he laughed and told stories (with great emotion).
We look forward to seeing Grandpa again in heaven. We explained to Anna that he went to go see Jesus, and on the way home from the burial service Anna kept saying "Jesus, Jesus." You just never know what she's thinking behind that. Praise God for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Without it we are hopeless, especially in the life to come.
The burial was a meaningful time - Grandpa was in the army, so he got military honors with a flag, military representatives, and a bugler played taps.
Afterward the extended family had a luncheon together. We don't see each other much so it was special.
Anna was very excited about swimming, until she saw the pool. We had her try out the pool a little...
...but she decided it was much better to just wear your "fwimfuit" and hang out on the side.
