So for those of you that don't know, my hero passed away in June. We are so very thankful that my grandfather was able to hang onto life long enough to meet Adalyn, his first great-grand child. He meant so much to so many people and I will never forget all the many wonderful things he's done for me and my family. Adalyn, Trevor, and myself spent many hours by his bedside and Adalyn was able to help him transition into his passing. She gurgled, coo'd, and smiled at him until the end. We were able to spend a few hours with him the night before he passed and he was well aware that we were all there with him even though he was in and out and couldn't speak. Whenever Adalyn made a noise, he would open his eyes and reach for her foot. It's been a difficult time, but we have had the support of family and friends to make things a little easier. A HUGE thanks goes to Melanie as she took Adalyn for us during the service. Addy was fine with the bagpipes and even fell asleep, but as soon as that organ started to play she flipped out! Thank you for helping us Melanie!
