Grandpa

This morning, very early, I received the news that my Grandfather had passed away. It is very hard to deal with but knowing that he wanted to go makes it a little bit easier. He had his leg amputated last year after a blood clot and has just gone drastically downhill ever since. He and my grandmother, who have been married for 60+ years, both made the decision to refuse antibiotics if they were to get sick and have a DNR (do not resuscitate). He got pneumonia and refused the antibiotics and died in his sleep last night. For the last three years they have both been saying that they lived a great life but they were done.

I have my first u/s tomorrow, which will be a joyous day, then, later this week, I will fly to be with my Dad and attend my Grandfather's funeral.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers as my family (specifically my Grandmother) deal with this loss.
