LOTS going on

WHEW. Sorry we have been M.I.A. We have had SO much going on in our lives. Last weekend I had to work on Saturday and there was a lot of drama (it just so happened to be 9/11) and we had to end up closing the office and I was stressed out. My parents came that night because they knew that we had a rough week but they didnt even get here until about 8:00 saturday night. They were here for about an hour and we got the call that they told my grandma that my grandpa's case was terminal. He had been struggling with dementia for a long time and around the end of June it got really bad. That sunday we drove to Raleigh for the day to be with him in the hospital then we drove back to Winston that night. This week he has been getting progressively worse and the doctors said he wouldn't make it to next week. My birthday was Friday (the 17th-thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes) and he died yesterday on the 18th in the hospital. William and I came back to winston today and we'll be returning to Raleigh tomorrow night for the wake and tuesday for the service. This is the second grandparent in two months so we have had sort of a hard time being able to settle down. However, we know he's in a better place. R.I.P papa george.
