One week away

Yesterday was not a typical Sunday morning for our family. This day was 1 week since Paw-Paw has passed away. And it meant change for us all but more so change for my Sunday routine. On the typical Sunday dad and i would go to visit before church, and this day would be the first in many that we wouldn't go there. So since Caleigh was leaving early we went and picked up some breakfast and we made out typical route still in a way. Just a little something we went to Milton Bakery (can't go wrong with that) and then took an assortment of doughnuts to the nursing home for the nurses to eat on! Was a chance to see and check up on some of the nurses and such again. I decided that I wasn't going to drive back to Troy till this morning so I told myself i had time and made my trip to visit PawPaw like I do on Sundays, except this time he would be at a different place. It was tough to see all the dirt and flowers laying there by his name and knowing that he isn't here anymore. It is all a little surreal to me at the same time. No one ever wants to lose a loved one and one who is a great father or grandfather. But we all have a time when we will meet our Maker and be reunited with loved ones and be able to share stories and laughter. That is what i tell myself, that MawMaw and him are catching up on these last years that they have been apart and she is sharing her version and he being stubborn will make it a point to share his. These next few weeks and months will be different for the family, where we go back to old routines that we haven't done in years and we go back to new routines that we have never done. Please keep our family in your prayers as we adjust to the new routines and try to adjust to the emptiness we have. Quote of the post:
