Wow... Been a very long time. Last Post we had just moved in with Gramps, well it has been 18 months since his passing and today is his Birthday. So I want to just go over a few memories I had of living with. To start I think he knew after Grams passed away I was going to take care of him, he was asking for me to be with him when he had many others around, but he knew and Grams knew as well. The night we moved he shuffled down the hall grabbed my face kissed me and said with emotion in his voice "welcome home". We were able to have brennas 2nd birthday with him and Jacks 1st birthday. We spent Halloween and Thanksgiving and New Years with him and also had Easter (very fun family get together. He and I would watch westerns and he loved FHE and prayer and scriptures with us. We bantered back and forth quite often but out of love. He desired to be in the Temple but was unsure of himself and ability to go. After he fell and went to rehab the kids and I visited him often in the mornings and enjoyed breakfast with him and sometimes rehab. I would push in his wheelchair in the yard area and we would sing songs together. When he came home it was hard for him and us but we did our best. We he started going down hill, I remember during the April General conference he would fall asleep and wake up with start and talk about seeing Grams and one dream he had he was talking to her and he desired to stay but she pushed him back and he was so sure it was real he woke up yelling because he thought he was falling. He passed shortly after Easter but was able to have a nice family get together and see his family enjoy being here with him.
I miss my crabby and our talks. I know for certain that he loved his wife, he loved his children and grandchildren, he how a love for his Savior and Heavenly Father and he knew that this is the true church upon the earth ans Eternal families are real and important. He knew and I love him for that.
Happy Birthday Crabby!!!
