Grandpa Boss...


Another heartache has happened in our family. David's Grandpa Boss passed away Saturday morning. He was one of the sweetest old guys I have ever had the opportunity to be related too. He had a heart made of pure gold and a spirit that I am sure touched heaven more than once. And who could help but love a man that every time you walked into a room he would tell you that you were beautiful. On more than one occasion he would ask me why I married David? Now that I think of it I should have responded by saying "Because he is just like you."
We had the sweet opportunity to be with him last Tuesday. We had come back from Kadens funeral to pick up our kids when Ann told us that grandpa only had a couple of weeks left to live. Our emotional day just had to continue I guess. But while we were sitting there, Dave set Cora on the arm of the chair grandpa was sitting in. He had really been non responsive for days, but he sat up and smiled. He tickled Cora and made her laugh. She even reached out for him and gave him a hug. It was a tender moment and will always be my last great memory of Grandpa Boss.
I really loved Grandpa with all of my heart and I am glad he has left the prison he called his body and that he is with his first love that he has missed for over 50 years now. My heart aches to see him again, but he is so happy that I would be selfish to want him back.
We love you Grandpa and will miss you. Hugs and Kisses from here to forever.
