My Grandaddy



Today has been technically four weeks since my grandmama passed. I have been calling my grandaddy at least once a week to call and check on him and he sure has had a hard time. I called today to check on him (not really realizing it had been exactly four weeks since my grandmama's passing) and he sounded so horrible...stuffy cold sounding. At first I thought he was sick but I asked him if he felt bad and told me no, but that he had had a really tough day. He said he doesn't think he is getting any better with dealing with my grandmama's passing, but I am sure he is. I talked to my mom (who was there) and she said he had been crying all day--from the moment he woke up till this evening. Every time I talk to him he cries a little--imagine a 79 year old man in complete tears. Imagine having a wonderful marriage with your best friend for 56 years and a month and then boom---she's gone. So hard to imagine and comprehend. If you don't mind, please say a short prayer for my sweet grandaddy, that God will give him peace and comfort as he mourns every day and longs to see the love of his life again.

First of all your new blog layout is super cute!

I really feel for your Grandaddy, the mourning process is tough and I am not sure it ever gets better...just a little easier. I can't imagine losing my spouse, espcially after so many great years! He will be in my prayers.

He will be in my prayers. I know how hard it is for someone you love to lose the one here on earth they love the most and not be able to be there. We will be praying for your whole family!!
