....my husband Zack's, grandfather passed away 2 hours ago (he was 96 years old)
I feel so bad for my hubby and his dad...I know my father-in-law is taking it pretty hard right now. Please keep them and the family in your prayers.

Wow, that means he was born in 1910....imagine all the changes he lived to see! How incredible to get to experience the world changing so much.

My condolances go out to you and yours.

His birthday is April 4, 1907. ( my father and him shared a birthday)

Thanks everyone--we are heading up to Waco this evening when I get home from work. The funeral is at 10am...Zack is doing ok, I think. Men usually don't like to talk about this types of things. He changes the subject when I bring it up. I guess it's his way of grieving in peace.

my math is a bit rusty. thought i could subtract 96 from 2004 but even that is too complicated for me!


it's strange to think how the world will be when we are all in our mid-90's.

Prayers for your family.


Some men prefer to grieve in private...it might just be his way.

The funeral was very lovely...I am glad we got to see his cousins again too. We are both exhausted from driving so much especially in the bad storm we ran into Friday night. We are now safe at home!
