We were so happy when Grandpa called a few weeks before the baptism to tell us that he was wanting to come! I talked him into flying rather than taking a road trip as he thought he wanted to. He and Jean were going to stay a few days at our house and then go down the Oregon coast for a few days, like they had wanted to do for a long time. We had a great visit including the baptism, an adult night out to a restaurant on the sound, card playing, visiting the farmers market, and apple fritters from Lattin's. Sunday after church we headed over to the neighborhood park. The guys went for a game of horse and grandpa took a bad fall. I was sooo devastated! He was able to get up and walk home, but we quickly realized that he needed to go in to the Emergency Room. He came home with a broken pelvis. We were able to get him on a flight home the next morning. I felt so sad for him and the pain he was in. He was very disappointed in not going on their trip down the coast as well. Luckily, I can report now that he his mostly healed and doing well. Thank goodness. I will cherish my times with my sweet grandpa forever. He is such a sweet, generous, funny, gentle, man who has always been so good to me. I am thankful that my kids are able to see and get to know him.
