Hi, sweets.
I want to thank you for keeping my grandfather in your thoughts and prayers.
With his family by his bedside in the comfort of my Uncle's home,
he passed peacefully this morning.
I am so grateful for a close-knit family and needless to say,
the next few days will be spent just loving on them,
remembering and honoring an awesome man.
I write this not for sympathy or to make you sad,
but just to let you know what's going on in my life
as things sort of snowballed this weekend.
{I sometimes struggle to write the things that aren't happy.}
You are a part of my journey, after all.
I'll be "unplugged" until the weekend,
so while I wind down tonight,
I'd thought I'd write a quick couple of posts.
The first is below and ought to get you craftin' for Christmas {if you haven't already}!
I pulled the info. from The DIY Club.

I am simply going to schedule and post the linky tool

Oh Jami...I am sorry about your amazing hero grandfather. He has been in my prayers since your first posted about his illness this past Summer.
I know his spirit is a part of you!

Losing papa is never easy. Wishing you lots of love and hope. It's nice to remember the reason for Christmas, and the reason to rejoice in a life well lived.
So sorry. My prayers are with you and your family.
I'm so sorry about your dear grandfather, some how they are very special people that hold a special place in our hearts. I'm upholding you in prayer.

I will keep you in my thoughts Jami. I hope your memories of him will comfort you.
We buried my hubby's grandfather six years ago today on his grandmother's birthday. She is 90 today. We think of him and miss his great personality all the time. We were blessed with him in our lives and I am sure you feel the same way. I am sorry for your loss. Know that he is with God.
Big hugs to you and your family. xo
Oh Jami. I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. Sending you a huge Hobart ♥ today - you're in my thoughts and prayers. J x
