Dec 2013

My maternal Grandpa passed just before my 5th birthday and I don't really remember Christmas when he was alive. My maternal Grandma passed in 2003 and we're still trying to figure out Christmas without her being around. My paternal Grandpa died summer so we'll be having Christmas at the assisted living place where Grandma lives now. It will be different without him around. Grandma's doing reasonably well right now but she's approaching 90 herself so we all know shel will leave us someday, hopefully not for a number of years yet. I hope she gets to at least 100.
