A Not-so-old Man
I try to keep things on the light side for this blog, but sometimes life is heavy. I didn’t know how to write about my grandpa’s passing and this on the same day, so here it is.
Adam’s dad collapsed yesterday (Sunday morning) at home and was taken to the hospital. They discovered that he has blood clots in his lungs. He’ll be in the hospital for a week now as they thin his blood to get rid of the clots. This could have been fatal.
I mourn the loss of my Grandpa, but he was an old man. He lived his life, and it is natural for old men to fade out. But Adam’s dad is only sixty. He hasn’t gotten to hug his grandkids yet or take them camping. This has been a really strong reminder of how much we love and value him in our life.
Please keep Adam’s dad, Steve, in your thoughts and prayers.
