My mom called me this morning early to wish me a Merry Christmas and let me know that my grandfather died early this morning...12-25-2009. It was a Christmas Blessing for a man tormented by Alzheimer's disease...but still it is painful to loose a grandparent...even when you have already lost him. My Papa has not truly known who I am for about 4 years...maybe longer than that ...he was good at hiding his confusion for a while. I am so blessed to have had him for a grandfather....He taught me to drive when no one else would even get in the vehicle with me! This picture of him with Santa was taken on Wednesday, 12-23-09 at the nursing home Christmas party...He was so lost after the death of my grandmother in 2001...and I believe that his soul made a Christmas wish ...He got his wish and now his soul is at peace.
