A few weeks ago,
I bought a random plane ticket “home” to Michigan…
or random, I thought.
Last Wednesday, I arrived in Michigan at midnight
and drove straight to my grandpa’s house to see him.
An hour and a half later, he passed away.
I am so thankful to have been in his presence before he left this Earth,
and even more thankful to be able to spend
the next few days with my large, loving family.
I have a little more to share about this experience,
but today,
I want to share this beautiful passage my mother wrote for the grandchildren…
(all 74 of them!)
…for the ones too small to remember him as they grow up,
and those of us who want to continue
live our lives through our Grandpa’s example.
