Something about Nothing: Our trip to Texas

Throughout September my Grandfather was in the hospital in Texas and on the 20th he passed away with family at his side. We found out on Thursday that things were not looking too good and they were wanting to move my Grandpa to hospice. They moved him on Friday. My parents had just gotten back from being in Texas the weekend before, but they packed up their stuff and headed right back down there. On Friday I spent some time changing our travel plans and we headed down on Saturday morning. We were already planning on going in mid-October to celebrate his and my other Grandmas 90th birthdays, so we just changed our flights.

We got in Saturday afternoon and he passed away that night. We spent that night saying our goodbyes with the immediate family. It was a very sad time, but I think we were all really glad to be there for each other and my Grandma. Although I know Noah won't remember it, I am really glad that Noah got to meet him last Thanksgiving.

From last Thanksgiving, Noah really enjoyed his Great-Grandpa

Reading with his Grandpa's

Over the week, we saw family and met more family! We got to celebrate my Grandpa's life and say a final farewell. He was almost 90 and had been married for 64 years. He was a great loving Grandpa and I am so thankful for all the memories and time I got to spend with him! He is dearly missed.

While we were there we did celebrate my other Grandma's 90th birthday, it was a little early, but we still had a great time celebrating her! Noah also got to spend a lot of time playing with her and we hope he didn't wear her out too much! Noah loved playing with her and even asked to sit with her in her chair several times. We did have some down time to enjoy the warm weather and spend some time with both sides of my family.
