Goodbye, Grandpa

My grandpa passed away last night. At 106 years old, we saw it coming. For years we’ve made sure to stop by for a visit anytime we came through town, knowing it could be our last chance to say hi, give him a hug, and tell him we love him.

Despite him getting older and his health slowly declining, we were still able to see who he was in those short visits.

Like December last year, when he noticed my brother taking pictures on his cell phone and asked about his camera, only to be fascinated by the technology that also allowed him to record videos, make phone calls, send messages, and much, much more.
