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.
So sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you guys and his family.
ReplyDeleteI 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?

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 :)
ReplyDeleteOh, 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!
