This dear sweet man passed away this morning. And these two sweet kids are having a very hard time. For those that don't know...Gregs dad suffered a massive stroke in the recovery room after surgery, eight and a half years ago. His right side was paralyzed, he could not speak, and he was wheelchair bound. Last August his mom and dad moved to Utah from West Virginia, to be closer to Greg and I and the grandkids. In December he became restless and agitated at night, thay began to run tests to figure out what was wrong. They diagnosed him with Terminal Agitation. The hospice nurse told us that this came at the end stages of serious illnesses. They told us he had 4 months to live. Then his health began a rapid decline and they changed that prognosis to 2 weeks or less. Greg spent the last week and a half at his moms condo in Springville, he did not want his dad to be alone when he passed. We both stayed over there last night and he was surrounded by loved ones this morning when his time came. My kids are struggling, Jordan said that it hurt his heart when we told him. Morgan figured out what was going on last week and had a melt down, she doesn't understand why Grandpa had to go.

Oh Jaime,
I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers... Lots of hugs to your kids too. :( Such a hard time.
Jamie...I am so sorry. Sorry for you, for Greg, for your sweet kids, for that dear man who lived so many years without being able to communicate, to walk. Give your whole family a kiss from me.
Again, my condolences. Sorry for your loss. So glad he was here though. And that he wasn't alone. Hope Jordan and Morgan are doing better.
