Thanks Ed. I have shared exactly that with everyone, but still feels empty. We do have some nice memories, he was a gentle person, easy to talk to and you could feel how much he enjoyed spending time with all of us.
The night before he died Ed, his sisters and I all had a "slumber party" with Pop-pop. They were all so frightened to leave him and to stay at the same time...think us all being together made it a bit easier. I know in my heart his dad could feel us right there.
Thank you for your kind words, the support is always so helpful. I know at times none of us knows what to write to each other in times such as these.
