Fathers day was a little different for my family this year.
When I got home from work this morning at 6 my wife told me that her grandpa had passed just an hour earlier. We knew his time was fast approaching as he was in the late stages of T.M.B. (Too Many Birthdays). It was no surprise because we had spent a lot of the last couple weeks visiting with him and hoping to make his last days as pleasant as possible. Both of his remaining children were staying at his house because of his worsening condition. At around 4:30 this morning he woke up and asked the kids to come in because he had something to say. When everyone was there he uttured his last words "I love you", closed his eyes and passed away.
I guess the reason I'm posting this is because its brought a whole new meaning to fathers day for me. I hugged my kids a little longer today and made sure I hugged my Pops and told all of them I loved them. I hope you all do the same.
Happy Fathers Day to all you dads. Make sure you tell your dads too!;)
