So I'm just now getting to this but Gabe and Kennedy's grandpa passed away somewhat suddenly on August 7th due to heart complications. It's so surreal that even now I think about him all the time and can't accept that he's gone. The photos below of us outside were taken less than two weeks before he died, we went camping with him for that whole weekend. He kept saying we need to slow down and enjoy life and each other. So that's sorta my new goal. We have tried slowing down a little more and definitely spend more time with Brent's mom than before. I miss him so much. Every time I look at the kids I can imagine how proud of them he would be, he was so in love with them. We spent all of Gabe's 5th birthday at the funeral home. Gabe was a trooper and didn't mind. The saddest part was when we were saying our last goodbye before they took him to the cemetery and Gabe said, "We're never gonna see Poppa again". It was hard because this is the first time he's acknowledged that death is final. He's never seemed to understand before now. I'm happy he'll have his memories though. The only comfort is laughing about stories of Gary, he was one of a kind and I've never met anyone so particular in my life. I will NEVER forget him.
