Grandpa

My grandpa died this weekend.

His passing, coming after nearly a decade of deteriorating physical and mental health in a nursing home, was both expected and merciful. ( My thoughts behind the cut )

family, grandpa

Sweetheart, this is beautiful. You might consider saying some of this at the memorial service.

Here from discussion with kathrynt, I add my best wishes to you and your family. What a remarkable man. I told my mom about him; he sounded like someone right up our swedish music-loving family's alley.

I asked Kathryn to pass along my deepest condolences and empathy, but wanted to also pass this along to you directly. Please let me now if there is anything I can do for you.
