Grandparents ARE important and Memories are blessings.

Two years before I was born my father's father passed away. When I was 12 twenty five days before my 13th birthday on January 31st about 3am my Pawpaw pasted away. Losing him was the hardest thing I ever went through even to this day because we were so very close and I loved him so very much.  And now today I get the call that the closet person I have had to a Pawpaw since I was 13 will pass very very soon. My husband's grandfather has fought with cancer for 10 years going in and out of remission. But now it is back and just too much. Earlier this month we had a huge 80th birthday part for him. When they called in Hospice last week I took my children and my mother-in-law down to be with him for the day. I knew at that point it would be the last time my children would ever get to spend time with him while he could still get up and move around and talk with them. Everyone that really knows me knows I am not a cryer. But today I cant seem to make it stop. My heart feels ripped open. I hurt for my husband, his mother and their whole family because I know that they love him so very much. My heart hurts so bad for my children because my oldest who is 4 will only probly remember a few things about him and my youngest who is 2 1/2  may not remember on her own any at all. They are going to miss out on so much growing up with out him. I will do my best to make sure they know who he was and how much he loved them. But I want everyone to know one thing GRANDPARENTS ARE IMPORTANT. I would not  be the person I am today without mine and your children won't be who they are ment to be without theirs. So just remember to make sure your children get time with their grandparents and great grandparents. Because what it boils down to are memories are the most precious gift we have from anyone.  We all love you Poppop!

My Very First Babble

So I guess the question is "Do I want to be a blogger?"  The truth is I don't think I know how. For starters I do not know anything about blogging. Is there a certain way you have to do it? Are there things you have to do or not do as a blogger? How do you get followers; do I have to go looking for them or will they come to me?  So I guess since I do not know how to be a blogger I will be a babbler. I will just type and babble about whatever comes to mind. Hopefully if I am lucky someone will see and enjoy what I do and follow. So if any one happens to run by this "Babble page" enjoy!
