I think one of the hardest things about growing up is seeing your grandparents getting older, getting more frail, more forgetful, slowing down...You want to just think of them as they were when you were 5 or 10 or 12, but, time keeps moving forward.
This last weekend we were at the funeral of my husband's grandpa. It was a wonderful reunion of relatives and friends all remembering Vernon and his life.

Our sympathies to Aaron & you on his grandpa's passing. It's not easy to say good bye to a grandparent, even when they've had a good, long life.
ReplyDeleteI remember when the last of my grandparents passed away (almost 6 years ago now), I was so struck by the fact that my parents were now the oldest generation and I was just one generation removed from that... Time is passing, oh so quickly!
