I realized the other day that perhaps it might be nice to update you on Dad with a video. Mom and I went on Friday to give Dad a hair cut and snapped a few pictures. He was not very responsive through most of the taping but I was able to capture some sweet moments. He is very weak and it seems a miracle that he keeps hanging on. I pray everyday he can be released from this life but while his sojourn continues here on earth he will be loved and taken care of. For those of you who have not been able to see Dad/Grandpa for some time this may be a little difficult to watch. Just know that every once and awhile we see a glimpse of him and it would make you smile.

So sweet! Thanks for posting this and taking the time to edit that video.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate you posting this. As hard as it is to watch, I love seeing Grandma and Grandpa together. It makes me miss him so much.
ReplyDeleteThere are moments that one sees a glimmer of recognition or a smile that says "I'm still here" It always makes a memory for me that I treasure and it sustains me on this most difficult of journeys. For all the love and support from our family we (He and I)are truly grateful. Mom/g'ma
ReplyDeleteMom, this was lovely. Thank you thank you. It is hard to see the weathered shell of the grandpa I love, but I appreciated this. I love you grandma, you are strong and beautiful.
