Not Any Way To Start New Year 2008


On January 1 my grandfather went to the ER for chest pains (which is nothing new). I talked to him that afternoon, we were joking around, how it was no way to start the new year. Around 1230 that night, my time, my mom called me and told me the doctors did not think Papa would live through the night. His lungs had been filling with fluid faster than they could pump and his heart stop fighting and now his kidneys had shut down. The phone call came at 641 am, my time, on January 2 he was gone. We went to California for the services. It has been very difficult for me. Thank God for Curtis. He is so supportive and understanding. He is my shoulder to cry on and my cane to keep me standing. They are both gone now and I miss them terribly.
I love you Grandma and Papa! Don't drive her too crazy Papa, and Grandma remember his just Papa.
