Fond memories

Hubby's granddad passed away two days ago. Even though he was old and had been unwell, in-and-out of hospital for nearly two months, something like this always comes as a bit of a surprise. And it's affected hubby quite a bit.


I have fond memories of grandpapa. Whenever we passed by hubby's hometown, we always made a point of visiting him to say hi. And he was always cheerful and bright - clearly a highly intelligent man with a zest for life in spite of his age.


We will miss him.

  2. I remember hubby's grandma, we met her at your wedding. She was amazing and wore a hat with feathers on it. Is she still around?

  3. Yes "Nen" as we call her is still around and very active. She's even older than hubby's grandpa -- they're from different sides of the family. This was hubby's dad's dad. Nen is hubby's mom's mom :)

  4. Oh, send her my greetings! How old is she now? My mom's parents will turn 87 & 88 this winter - grandpa is quite slow but grandma is incredibly energetic!
