Tuesday, June 28, 2011


Friday night my phone rang. Immediately my heart started racing when I saw that it was my mom because it was really late and my grandpa was having some tough days.
Earlier that night he peacefully passed away with his sweetheart by his side.
Now I am blogging from my phone as we are driving and on our way to San Diego to celebrate the incredible life he lived and his legacy of love he shared. He truly is an amazing man! I know we will see him again but it still hurts.

    I am so very sorry....I hope you can just always remember the memories and know you were very blessed to have a grandpa as an adult. Mine were gone by the time I was 14, so to be able to build those memories as an adult and have him see your children, that's a true gift...and oh my goodness, those pictures of him, he looks like a total sweetheart....
    God be with you and give you peace sweet Lizzy.

    Your page is the perfect sentiment. All we want to do is Hold On to the ones we love for as long as we can.
    The only thing that has ever helped me let go physically of the ones I love is the loving embraces of those of us still here. Clinging to one another as you grieve is therapeutic. Nothing comforts the soul more.
    I hope every tear you shed for his meaningful life will carry him like a river to God's arms.

    I'm so sorry for you Lizzy - my granddaddy has been gone for a year and a half and I still miss him everyday. The best part of this hobby of ours is that we take lots of pictures. I have some amazing photos of him with the kids just a few weeks before he passed - they are treasured and help my 3 and 4 year old remember him. Saying a prayer for you.

    That's really sad, heartbreaking news for your family.

    Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this time of grief and sorrow. We pray that you and your family feel extra comfort and peace.

    Let the good memories of your grandpa live on in your heart. I like to think that he is another angel in heaven watching over you and your family/children.

    I find that when I am really sad - so sad that my heart hurts - that a hot water bottle on my heart helps. Or a hot bubble bath. Hope those tips help for you as well

    Have a safe trip.

    Love and greetings from Germany

    P.s. I found from experiance that when my Great Aunt {my serogate grandmother} went back to heaven, sharing stories of her were the BEST medicine possible to relieve the heartache. She made for the best stories too. So, don't be afraid to laugh and tell stories of your beloved to anyone that will listen. It really will help.

    So sorry for your loss. My grandpa passed away in January and I think of him often. When I read your post, I was actually in the middle of working on some very special projects - I got a bunch of my grandpa's shirts from my grandpa, and have been putting together quilts for the youngest members of our family (both named after my grandpa), as well as belts for the boys and little dresses for the girls. I'm also planning on making a bunch of key fobs for any of the older kids & adults in the family that would like them. Just little things to keep grandpa close. I love making stuff, but I'm not usually to good at repurposing... but making these has been very comforting.

    My heart goes out to you during this incredibly difficult time. It's hard knowing there will be a time of separation until we meet our loved ones again. There simply is nothing easy about it. Saying a prayer for comfort and peace for you and your family.

    Dear Lizzy, no words, just cyber hugs for you & yours. It touched my heart for you to say that he passed away with his sweetheart by his side...that's love.

    I remember following your blog and reading about your sweet Grandpa and the close bond you two shared. I remember the post you did of the things he kept on his dresser...so heart breaking. I am SO sorry for your loss. It is so hard to loose a grandparent, especially when you have that close bond with them. I was close to my granny too and so I know how hard it is. Just today I found a embroidered hankie she gave me a few years ago and I picked it up and smelled it and immediately had tears squeezing in my eyes...will be thinking of you Liz!

    I am so sorry to hear about your grandpa. I'm so close to my grandparents, so I know how you feel. Remember all the good times. My grandpa told me once "If someone is thinking about you, you are never truly gone or forgotten."

    Dear Lizzy,

    What a handsome man your Grandfather "IS". How you will rejoice to be able to see him again "by and by". I am so sorry for the pain and heart ache you feel now. It will turn to joy...little by little. Baby steps.

    Dear Liz,

    First and foremost, I am very sorry for your lost.

    I am from Malaysia and I have been following your blog for about 3 years now. You have never fail to inspire me.

    When I read about your grandpa, I just had to leave you a comment..which is my first. I lost my grandpa on the same date a year ago so I know how it feels.

    But through all the pains and sorrow, at least we can have that peace in our hearts knowing that they're in the good hands of our Great Creator.

    Know that you and your families are in my prayers. Stay strong.
