    I'll be back later this weekend and here off/on.   We found out our grandpa passed today and it is a bit of a shock still, despite the feeling we had that he wouldn't have gone on long without grandma (died 2/10/10).

    Neither of them will be there at all.  It's going to be really hard in August.  They had 70 amazing years together and we were so very very blessed they were in our lives.

    It's been a rough week.  And now this one.  I'm going to sort things out for a while and getting ready to take a long walk.  My little guy is really taking this hard, as our grandpa was his hero and a former pro baseball player.  My little guy loves baseball and we'd dreamed of taking our grandpa with us this summer to a Braves' game.

    I still haven't cried alot yet, it's so new.  Just quiet.  Raymond M. Haynes was an amazing man and the best grandfather anybody could have.  It's just not going to be the same with them both gone.  Keep our family in your prayers, as we were just feeling a bit better after she passed in February.  I'm wondering how the wedding will be and how I can even go down the aisle.  I had so dreamed of him walking me down the aisle.

    Thanks.  It was a shock.  My sis still hasn't let the kids (hers) know yet.  My son has his baseball picture (cicra 1940's, late 40's) on his nightstand.

    I'm so sorry for both of your losses. My grandpa passed away in 2009 and we lost my grandma seven months later. I won't have any grandparents living at the time of my wedding in July and knowing that has been so hard to deal with! Hugs and prayers.

    Thanks everybody.  We're finally leaving on that walk now.  I really really want them to play "Amazing Grace" by Celtic Woman at the funeral. 

    It's just so hard having them both gone now.  It seems surreal.  Love back to everybody. 

    The tears have finally come though.  Second I heard the song they came.  I know that he was given grace, because he didn't suffer that long.  That, I am very very thankful for.  He was 90.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. There is a really neat bouquet photo charm in a DIY wedding book I have that might be a nice way to honor your grandparents at the wedding, so that your grandfather can still "walk" with you down the aisle. Let me know if you'd like to see it. *hugs*

    My grandma and grandpa died one month apart from each other last summer. It's very hard to go through. I wish you the best.

    Thanks everybody.  @Somethingblue:  that is such a good idea.  I was already planning on getting one for the bouquet of my dad, but now I need two.  Dad and grandparents. 

    Hugs and much much love back at all of you and please do remember my son and my sis' kids right now.  They loved both of them so much.  My son has cried on/off all day. 

    @ILikePink:  I am so so sorry for your loss too.  I guess sometimes when you love with all your heart, it is really forever and you can't be without your life partner.  Wishing you love and healing too.

    Thanks everybody.  Sent in advance a lovely arrangement.  We just found out also that our mom is already married.  She married the guy she's acting like a 15 year old about..and she never even contacted my sister or I.  We confirmed this last night after I signed off here.
