Checking In

Today's the day. Pawpaw is getting married. We really like Margie so we are happy for them but it will be kind of bittersweet because we had to lose someone so important to us to be at this point in our lives. I know God has a reason for everything and we don't always understand it. My Pawpaw is like a different person since he met Margie. He's wearing shorts and sandles, I've never seen him dressed like this before. The changes in him have been good changes and he is so happy all the time. He's 82, getting married today and starting a whole new chapter of his life. Good luck Pawpaw we are so happy for you. I love you and wish you all the happiness in the world. Thank you Margie for showing us this other side of Pawpaw that we didn't know exsisted.

I thought that this was a really sweet post. A lot of families would tend to put their own feelings first in this sort of situation. Sounds like y'all really know where it's at! Congratulations to the happy couple.

Congratulations, Pawpaw!!

Zorak's Granny remarried when she was in her 80's. A delightful man, and the boys gained a Grandpa. We were so happy for them. It didn't lessen the love Zorak felt for his own Granddad, or that he missed him, but life is meant to be celebrated and there's always enough love for one more.

Here's to many happy, loving years for Pawpaw and Margie!
