This is the time of year that I really think about my Papa. This month he and my Granny would have celebrated another anniversary and it's also the month that he passed away. It's interesting how your feelings change over time. I was, of course, so sad when our family lost Papa and I think about him during holidays and any time that I am at his house. I always said (after now losing both Papas and an Aunt) that the hardest part has been watching my parents lose a parent and sister. Now I feel differently. This year I feel the loss more so than ever before. I attribute this to (2) things: (1) my hormones are a total mess and I am more emotional about EVERYTHING and (2) he will not meet his first great-grandbaby. This make me extremely sad! However, I have plenty of loving family around to celebrate this special time, and I just take joy in thinking that my Papa is watching over us as we go through it all!
We love and miss you Papa! =)
Grandparents are so special! I'm sure he is grinning from ear-to-ear up in heaven at the news of your little one.
