Today we went to see my grandfather (Dad's Dad). He is celebrating his 89th birthday today. Oh man! 89 years.
He has seen a lot change over the years. He has seen 2 sets of kids grow up (his own and his son's). He has seen things change with the times in the area and city he has lived in for all these years.
He has also got to see his great granddaughter Brooklynn and is on course to see his great grandson Emmerson in May. I mentioned Emmerson to him today and he seemed like he understood what I meant. He sometimes knows and sometimes doesn't. But I am glad he remembers Brooklynn, Sunnshyne, my siblings, my parents and myself. So I can't wait to take little baby Emmerson up there to see him. He always seems really excited to see Brooklynn.
He's a great man.
Happy Birthday Grandpa!

But then a week later on Easter Sunday (April 8) he passed away.
So this day holds a lot.. it's Easter the day of celebration of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but its also a day of celebration for my grandfather he got to meet his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!!! Even though this isn't the exact day that he passed on, its still a great story.
