Super Grandpa
It’s been a hard couple of weeks. We lost our Super Grandpa this past week, and have been really sad to not have him around anymore. He was such a special man to us and so many others. My mom, dad, and I had been taking care of Grandpa around the clock for about 3 days. The morning of February 1st we could tell we were nearing our last few hours with Grandpa. We were so thankful to be able to be with Grandpa to hold his hand and say our last goodbyes. Our family is going to miss him so much. Jeremy told me when I called him later that morning that Asher woke up that morning and said, “uper ampa all gone” and went and grabbed a little loon toy that Super Grandpa had given him. I’m sure it was just a coincidence, I don’t think Asher totally understood what was going on…but then again, he did have quite a special bond with his Super Grandpa.
So, we’ve all been spending a lot of time in Minnesota these last couple of weeks. And, if this new snow storm continues, we may not be able to fly out tomorrow either. I’ve forgotten how much your life is dependent upon the weather when you live in MN. Oh well, the snow has actually been really pretty, Asher is loving playing with his family, and we’ve got this awesome breakfast waffle bar that I really don’t want to part with :).
I haven’t been doing a very good job at capturing our memories while we’re here, but God has been so gracious to give us some fun times together with our family in the midst of all the hurting. Asher has been loving playing with his Grandma and Grandpa Necas, cousins Susan and Kathy, and even got a special visit from his Grandpa Olimb and Auntie Dana! He’s one lucky boy! And, he’s been a little ray of sunshine around here while we’re mourning the loss of our Super Grandpa.
