My grandpa passed away Friday night. His health was in decline for a number of years and he had been doing particularly poorly for the past few months, so it wasn't a surprise, but it's still hard to say goodbye.
The timing was particularly difficult because we lost Joshua's Grandad at the end of my pregnancy with Mary and hitting the ninth month this time brought back a lot of those memories. Losing my grandpa shortly after delivery was hard.
Grandpa was an active person who loved spending time outside. He always had time to spend with us whether it was teaching us a new game, telling hot dog stories in front of the fire, or working on a project. We will miss him.

On Sunday I made gingerbread, one of Grandpa's favorite desserts. My family was also having gingerbread in Grandpa's honor on Sunday so it was nice to share that moment even though we weren't in California with everyone.
