Just back from Florida where I have been since Tuesday evening. After getting our fun news on Tuesday morning, the husband and I flew down to Florida to mourn the loss of my grandpa. He has had a 5 year battle with cancer and lost to it last Sunday morning. We've all been prepared for this for some time as he had many close calls. But then he always seemed to miraculously pull through and have some more time with us all. He has always been one cool old dude and I will miss him. He missed hearing that we're having a boy by just a few short days. But, I love knowing that even though he doens't get to meet little Grayson anytime soon, he gets to hold my other 3 babies long before I do. Before his passing I told him to check in on them. I don't really know if that's how heaven works, but I like to think it does. He always gave the best shoulder rides when I was a little girl and I picture him up there right now giving those three the same experience I used to have. So for now little angels, have fun with grandpa. Our loss is certainly your great gain.

So sorry to hear about your grandfather. I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers .
(and fwiw, that is exactly how I think heaven works)
Beautiful and still so sad. HUGS!
so sorry to hear about your grandfather - but I think he is proud of this post!
That was absolutely beautiful! What a lucky girl to have had such a grandfather!
It's so hard to have such joy and such sorrow come at the same time. I remember that internal conflict, take comfort that he knew you and Grayson were ok.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandfather. I also feel that's how heaven works!! So your grandfather is def with your little ones! You and your family are in my thoughts!!
I'm so sorry about your grandpa. What a great way to remember him though, and I think he's hanging out with your angels right now! :)
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. I see Heaven in the same way and certainly hope that he is there with your little ones.
HUGS!
I am so sorry for your loss.
One of my most comforting thoughts was that my grandma would rock my baby up in heaven - whether or not that is indeed how it works I don't know - but I like thinking that, too.
I think it's really nice that even in your sorrow you can find the sweetness of life to share with you lost angels. Very touching.
Your family has been in my prayers during this difficult time. His testimony and desire to serve God was amazing right up to the end. I'm sure he heard the words "Well Done!"
Sorry to hear it... by the way, I just checked out your blog for the first time in a while. Congratulations! So nice to see the good news!
