We made it here to Evanston.
It is a strange thing to walk into grandpas house and him not be here.
So many little reminders of him everywhere, but he's nowhere.
Oh we miss him.
We miss his constant teasing.....you never knew if he was telling the truth of stretching the truth.
His giggle, his nick names for everyone.
They just don't come any better than him, really.
We enjoyed food with family.
Nancy couldn't make it here, but all the other siblings came down.
They are on the search for funeral paperwork that Gramps said was all squared away, but didn't tell anyone where is was...….
But while sifting through papers and such we had fun talking memories and making funeral plans.
It is great to be all near everyone at this time.
While going through a drawer, we found a journal of Grandmas that on one knew existed!
We have been looking through that was reading the sadness she felt for so many years after she lost Daralynne.
She was so alone and was set on not letting her family see her sadness.
I am glad she kept a journal.
I think it helped for her to get all that out, but also for us to hear about her struggles and see how she pulled through so many times.
We also read about how often she would have dreams that would end up being a premonition of something to come.
She was easily entreated by the other side, for sure.
These two, they were incredible.
My heart is so happy knowing they get to be together again.
Together with that sweet baby girl, Daralynn, and all those other loved ones they have missed so much.
So grateful for the knowledge we have of eternal families ❤

Madi likes to hug uncle Doug, unexpectedly when we visit.
He doesn't enjoy it :)
