My dear, sweet Grandpa, Pokie, just passed away a couple hours ago. What a privilege it was to call him my Grandpa! He was a wonderful and hard working man right up until the end. I am overwhelmed with emotion right now. On one hand I am saddened at the loss of him in our lives, and on the other hand I am touched at knowing that he is having the best reunion in heaven! My sweet Grandma Dotty passed away 5 years ago and my Grandpa has been lonely and grieving ever since. It gives me great peace and comfort in knowing that they are together again! I can only imagine the joy they are both experiencing. Now if only that could stop me from crying. I love you Grandpa and I will miss you and see you again someday!!!! God be with you till we meet again...
