received word this morning that my grandfather passed away last night. i'm sad about that, but really happy for the visit we had about a month ago. we took tyler with us and it seemed that he was the catalyst to make my granddad come alive. it was the first time any of us had seen him smile and laugh in years. we are so grateful for that one last experience - we will certainly talk about it for a long time.

it's a nice reminder that God is a good and loving God.
