So we celebrated Easter today, on a Saturday, because I have to work on Sunday at the stadium. It was mimi, poppy, nana, and us. Ben didn't join us this year. Natalie was so cute in her Easter dress. She was a little strange at dinner, as she didn't want to sit in her own chair - so she sat in my lap. But she played with poppy while we played Scrabble. Mimi won. Today was a good day with the family.
The rest of the week, well that was a bit rought. Grandpa passed away. Since his memory was gone, it was for the best. Grandpa was a wonderful man. He was a model husband - helping grandma clean and do the dishes and go grocery shopping every week. He had a great sense of humor. He made wonderful wood projects, including the book case in the living room. He had a great heart.
Then later in the week, my cousin Andrew passed away. He was 32 years old, leaving behind his 9 year old daughter, Madison. He died of the flu. Now Andrew was the kindest and most giving person I know. I know life wasn't easy for him, but he always had a smile on his face.
Both family members will be missed.
