Grandpa Paul

Last Thursday my Grandpa was given 1 week to live after being in diabetic coma, a heart attack and a seizure all at the same time. We were able to go up and see him on Friday with the kids. Grandpa was stubborn as ever and would not eat.The kids brought a smile to his face which was nice to see.

On Sunday I felt I needed to go up and see him. This time it was just Lily and I. He was only about 25% there mentally. My plan was to go up on Tuesday but I just did not feel like I was meant to go that day. On Wednesday Morning about 7AM my Dad called to tell me he passed away at 1AM. And also Tuesday would not have been a good day to go up. He was not mentally there and was just repeating everything that was said in the room.

He was a sweet little old man that loved life. He worked for GM as an experimental engineer. He also served in the Military. My Grandparents were married for 54 years. He had 2 children, 8 grandchildren (6 biological) and 2 great-grandchildren.

Not everything is Perfect

This semester Eric was to start his co-op (internship)for Pastries. But the person that was communicating to the students and the businesses quite and wrong information was given. Well Eric already had his notice into the country club and they already had him replaced. So we are currently jobless.

Oddly enough we have felt really good and calm about all of this. For some reason it kind of feels like this was suppose to happen this way. Since I am in school too we get Financial Aid which always exceeds the amount of my schooling and books. And this time around was a lot more than expected.

Another thing that we have had to deal with this past week was a miscarriage. We were about 3-4 weeks along. I was really emotional due to hormones but Eric was a trooper. He had to deal with me crying over the stupidest things. The good thing was we were not attached yet since we were not very far along.
