So, here is my first official blog and I guess it's a sad one. My Grandpa O'Dell (my mom's dad) passed away on Wednesday. He was 82 years old and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about a year ago. He really struggled with having this disease and actually didn't believe the doctors at first. He really did tell them they were wrong! He went into a nursing home in April and never got to go home. For the past couple of months it got really bad really fast. It was hard for my mom and her sisters to watch him go, but I know he is happier now that he is with my grandma again.
My mom and I were talking the other day about how watching someone die is almost like watching a baby being born. Don't get me wrong, it's much happier to watch a baby being born, but they both remind you that there is something bigger and better than any of us can imagine.
I promise the next time I do this it will be a happy sweet one about my babies!
